Slips, Trips & Falls Toolkit - Stairs & Steps
Introduction
A fall on stairs, particularly when descending, can often lead to serious injury or worse.
The person who falls on the stairs is often blamed for the accident, perhaps due to their inattention or rushing. However, the way the stairs are constructed can hugely influence the chances of an accident occurring. There are simple and inexpensive things that can be done to make stairs safer.
Providing good handrails and visible highlights on the treads are things to prioritise. The size of the steps and the consistency of the stair dimensions are also important.
