Practical Workplace Safety Tips
Tips for Avoiding Slips & Falls
be walking on slippery surfaces.
Falls are the leading cause of injury in
the workplace. Keep these tips in mind
to avoid an injury:



As you walk, keep an eye on the
floor in front of you for spills.

Never climb on shelving units or
storage units to get things. Use
only approved ladders.

Never lean on railings, even if
they look solid. They could be
improperly secured, and you
could fall.
If you see a spill, never walk by it.
Always clean it up or call someone to
clean it up.
Wear non-skid shoes when you work
in kitchens, outdoors, or any other
place where you will commonly

Always use safety harnesses
when working at heights.
Falls are the leading
cause of injury in the
workplace.

profitability
“We are pleased to report second quarter earnings which are
almost ten times the income earned in the same quarter last
year,” stated Diane Reko, chief executive officer. “All areas of
our business were at capacity, and our ability to process this
demand within our current cost structure has allowed us to
improve our profitability from the previous quarter and prior
year. Kickoffs during the first two quarters of this fiscal year in
the automotive market were higher than anticipated, and we
expect to return to more normal levels for the second half of
the fiscal year. We also look forward to the start of our
machining contract this quarter.”
