GAME PLAN
Classify Your Fall Hazards to Make Them Easier to Control:
In everyday language, “fall” is a generic verb that describes the action of plunging downwards as a result of losing balance. But workplace fall prevention and OHS compliance is about protection against 3 different kinds of falls:
- Slips: occur when a person’s foot or feet lose grip with the surface they’re standing on.
- Trips: occur when a person stumbles on or over an object.
- Falls: are vertical plunges from a surface above ground level like a platform, scaffold, roof or ladder.
