Slips, Trips & Falls Toolkit - Human Factors
Introduction
Falls are the most common cause of major injury in the workplace and a significant contributory factor to these injuries are the actions of people. Of all the reportable injuries received annually by the Health and Safety Executive, 32% related to slips, trips and falls on the level.
The person who has fallen often feels embarrassed and they can be quick to assume that it was their own fault. However, even though human error is likely to have been a factor, it is rarely the sole cause.
Every employer has to address the foreseeable risks, and so should be considering the contribution of human factors when performing risk assessments and implementing risk control measures.
It is important that people have a safe environment and positive safety culture to work in and are provided with the training, equipment and time required to undertake their work in a safe manner.
