Proper housekeeping in work and traffic areas is still the most effective control measure in avoiding the proliferation of these types of hazards. This means having policies or procedures in place and allowing time for cleaning the area, especially where scrap material or waste is a by-product of the work operation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep all work areas, passageways, storerooms and service areas clean and orderly.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid stringing cords, cables or air hoses across hallways or in any designated aisle.<\/li>\n<li>In office areas, avoid leaving boxes, files or briefcases in the aisles.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage safe work practices such as closing file cabinet drawers after use and picking up loose items from the floor.<\/li>\n<li>Conduct periodic inspections for slip and trip hazards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4) Create and Maintain Proper Lighting<\/strong><br \/>\nPoor lighting in the workplace is associated with an increase in accidents.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use proper illumination in walkways, staircases, ramps, hallways, basements, construction areas and dock areas.<\/li>\n<li>Keep work areas well lit and clean.<\/li>\n<li>Upon entering a darkened room, always turn on the light first.<\/li>\n<li>Keep poorly lit walkways clear of clutter and obstructions.<\/li>\n<li>Keep areas around light switches clear and accessible.<\/li>\n<li>Repair fixtures, switches and cords immediately if they malfunction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>5) Wear Proper Shoes<\/strong><br \/>\nThe shoes we wear can play a big part in preventing falls. The slickness of the soles and the type of heels worn need to be evaluated to avoid slips, trips and falls. Shoelaces need to be tied correctly. Whenever a fall-related injury is investigated, the footwear needs to be evaluated to see if it contributed to the incident. Employees are expected to wear footwear appropriate for the duties of their work task.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) Control Individual Behavior<\/strong><br \/>\nThis condition is the toughest to control. It is human nature to let our guard down for two seconds and be distracted by random thoughts or doing multiple activities. Being in a hurry will result in walking too fast or running which increases the chances of a slip, trip or fall. Taking shortcuts, not watching where one is going, using a cell phone, carrying materials which obstructs the vision, wearing sunglasses in low-light areas, not using designated walkways and speed are common elements in many on-the-job injuries.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s ultimately up to each individual to plan, stay alert and pay attention.<\/p>\n<p><em>Since 1989, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clekis.com\/service\/personal-injury\/\">personal injury<\/a>\u00a0attorneys of Clekis Law Firm have been representing injured people and their families in Charleston and throughout the Low Country.
