In this episode, Andrew Scott, a Walking-Working Surfaces and Fall Protection Specialist (WWS) and AIA Presenter at SlipNOT® Metal Safety Flooring, talks about improving facility safety by eliminating hazards in the workplace.

A few areas of interest include solutions for non-compliance, why slips, trips and falls are considered preventable workplace injuries and what types of hazards are often overlooked. Scott also describes some specific examples of slipping and tripping hazards that are not always obvious to safety managers and what can be done about them.
