Walking-Working Surfaces: What Employees Need to Know Online Training Course - English

Slips, trips and falls can happen in any area of any workplace — from the office to the production floor to the loading dock to the warehouse and everywhere in between.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, slip, trip and fall hazards cause the majority of general industry workplace accidents and cost employers billions of dollars each year in lost productivity and business. The good news is that OSHA believes many of these injuries can be prevented by following existing regulations and recommended safe work practices.

OSHA regulates slips, trips and falls under Subpart D, "Walking-Working Surfaces." These requirements apply to all general industry workplaces. It also covers all walking and work surfaces within these workplaces regardless of operations, including floors, aisles, stairs, ladders, platforms, roofs, etc.

This program is designed to help employees understand how they and their job responsibilities may be impacted under the new standard.
