Slips and falls can happen in any facility. In fact, they are the third leading cause of worker injury and lost work time each year, according to the National Safety Council. Costs associated with slip and fall injuries collectively total over $7.7 billion and cause over 104 million lost workdays per year.
Although a written floor safety plan is not required by OSHA, with such a large potential for injuries, creating a specific floor safety plan makes sense.
