HSE will be running a new campaign in February and March 2008 on slips, trips and falls in the workplace.
More than 1,000 workers a month suffer a serious injury following a slip, trip or fall.
The campaign is aimed primarily at those most at risk of a slip, trip or fall at work and those best placed to take action - construction workers, electricians, gas fitters other trades people, and site managers, kitchen managers and chefs, food retail staff, area and store managers, food operatives and their shift managers.
However slips, trips and falls accidents do happen in any workplace and the HSE urges anyone where slips, trips and falls are a risk to get involved in the campaign.
The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the risks and help those involved to take simple action that will prevent slips trips and falls.
