Slips and Trips at Work

Employers have to ensure that employees are kept safe from harm. This means that measures must be taken to ensure that employees do not slip, trip and fall at work.

The Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992 require employers to ensure that floors are suitable for the workplace and work activity and that floors and traffic routes are kept free of obstructions which may present a hazard or restrict access.

For example, floors and traffic routes should be free from any hole, slope or uneven or slippery surface which is likely to cause a person to slip, trip or fall or cause instability or loss of control of vehicles and/or loads.

If you have been involved in an accident at work and suffered an injury because your employer has not complied with the Workplace (Health, Safety &Welfare) Regulations then you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.
