Slips and trips are often seen as a joke however in reality nothing could be further from

in almost all workplaces, 95% of major slips result in broken bones and they can also be
the initial causes for a range of other accident types such as falls from height. Legal
actions brought as a result of an injury can be extremely damaging to business, especially
where the public are involved. Insurance covers only a small proportion of the costs.

injuries are broken arms or legs. Some are more serious injury’s and some result in Death! The most
common area of the vehicle for people to fall from is the load area, followed by entering / exiting the
cab. You don’t have to fall far to land hard! Working At Height applies equally to working on a
vehicles / trailers etc. In law, work at height means ‘work in any place where a person could fall a
distance likely to cause personal injury if no precautions are taken’.
