Smart Design to Prevent Slip, Trips, and Falls

This course is designed to provide an overview of smart safety design for preventing slips, trips and falls. Participants will learn how to identify different types of accidents, recognize areas where they occur, and understand the importance of coefficient of friction, and evaluate non-slip products for use in a variety of applications.

Objectives:

• Differentiate between slips, trips, and falls, and recognize the four common areas where they occur
• Discuss coefficient of friction
• Describe applications where non-slip products are used
• Examine criteria in evaluating slip resistant products
