The majority of general industry accidents are slips, trips, and falls (STFs). These types of falls are the second leading cause of accidental deaths, behind motor vehicles. In addition, 15% of all accidental deaths involve STFs. Most are preventable.
The leading causes of slips are wet spills or products on walking surfaces or smooth floors, including mud, water, grease, oil, blood, food, and offal.
Making an implication of wrongdoing having occurred on the part of any person, organization, or institution is never intended on this website. Helping workers injured in a Texas workplace and the families of fatally injured workers when the employer has not subscribed to the Texas workers’ compensation program of insurance is the purpose of our posts.
