If you slip or trip over something at work, you may immediately look around to see if anyone saw the fumble. “When we think of slips and trips, our first thought is often about the risk of embarrassment, rather than the risk of injury,” says Sara Lambie, a Health and Safety Consultant with WSPS. Sara explains that falling a short distance off a step ladder or tripping over material piled in a pathway can do much more than bruise your ego. “It really depends on how you land and what you fall into that can significantly impact the outcome,” she says.
