11:34 am	Help to prevent accidents from occurring within your workplace Take action against fall hazards within the workplace is a major priority as any accidents that do take place are bad news both for the person who has been injured and for the employer. As an employer, you should ensure that you employees are aware of the dangers that may befall them and what can be done to prevent any injuries. If you are an employee on the other hand, you have the right to be made aware of any dangers within your workplace and know how to avoid causing yourself an injury. Slips, trips and falls are most common with the workplace and are responsible for over half of the injuries that take place every year. Picture your working environment in your head now; can you think of any trailing cables that may be lying across the floor? Are there any corners of the carpet which are sticking up from the floor? These two examples can both cause a person to trip and you can bet that there are many more hazards just like this within your workplace that may look innocent enough, but could cause serious damage. However, by taking simple, yet effective precautions, it is arguable that these types of accidents could be the easiest to prevent. Most dangers can be prevented by simply reassessing your working environment, highlighting the potential dangers and finding solutions to reduce the threats. For instance, the danger of those trailing cables could be reduced by utilizing a floor cable cover protector and that protruding piece of carpet could be pinned back down.However, several dangers remain constant such as utilizing certain machines within a factory for instance. In respect of these types of hazards, it is essential to ensure that everyone is made aware of them so that injuries can be avoided at all costs. Various health and safety training courses are available for those looking to gain that extra knowledge about accident prevention. There are courses available that focus entirely on slip, trip and fall accidents because of the fact that these are such a common cause in injury in the workplace.Unsurprisingly, almost a third of all serious fall injuries involve ladders. That probably sounds fairly obvious, however other potential accidents that involve falls may not be quite as apparent. An everyday act such as walking down a flight of stairs may seem innocent enough, but even this can turn dangerous if a person was to fall and sustain an injury. In order to prevent these accidents from taking place, simple steps can be taken like ensuring that the correct ladder is being used or installing a handrail onto the stairs. A falls prevention training program can help you to identify areas within your workplace that you may not normally think to be dangerous, show you how they are in fact a potential threat and teach you ways to reduce the risk of falls.By simply attending a health and safety training course, you can help to prevent yourself and others from suffering an injury. As an employee, you will gain awareness and can prevent yourself and others from suffering severe pain. Alternatively, from an employer’s perspective, you can ensure that your employees are working in a safe environment and simultaneously, protect yourself against any lawsuits.
