Slip, Trip and Fall Training Video

By: Ruth Wood

Falls are the second leading cause of accidental death and a major cause of debilitating injuries in the United States.  When a slip, trip, or fall occurs in the workplace, costs to the organization can be severe.  This program outlines and explains how to prevent and document slip, trips, and falls in a healthcare organization. The speaker, Attorney Brian Mathis, has defended numerous organizations throughout his career in slip, trip, and fall litigation.  He provides comprehensive recommendations that, when implemented, will keep employees and customers safe in the workplace and help organizations defend themselves if litigation occurs.

At the conclusion of the session, participants will understand:

  • Costs associated with slips, trips, and falls in the workplace
  • Top issues faced in defending organizations in slip, trip, and fall litigation
  • Top facility hazards that lead to slips, trips, and falls
  • Definitions of duty and proving negligence in slip, trip, and fall litigation
  • Recommendations for preventing and documenting in slips, trips, and falls
