STF Prevention Program
In 2008, a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) study found that when implementing a slip, trip, and fall prevention program, it reduces STF injuries and workers' compensation claims.
Elements of a slip, trip, and fall prevention program should include:
- Plan: Identify key risk areas and set goals for improvement.
- Organize: Involve workers and assign responsibilities so they are committed to the process.
- Analyze: Assess the risk to employees, to visitors, and to the public. Periodically review to be sure all hazards are addressed.
- Develop: Establish safety policies, programs, processes, procedures, and practices to reduce the number of injuries.
- Deploy: Provide essential instruction and training at all levels, in all departments, and facilities. Be sure to include management-level training.
- Evaluate: Ensure work practices and processes are being carried out properly and that they are being monitored to discover weaknesses in the program. Revise the program based on the evaluation.
