Trip hazards
Generated on: June 3, 2025

To prevent trip hazards in the workplace, employers should ensure that work sites are kept clean and free from materials or equipment that could cause workers to slip or trip [1]. Passageways, traffic lanes, and exits should not be obstructed [2]. Lighting at the work site should be sufficient to allow work to be done safely 1, 7. Walking-working surfaces should be maintained free of hazards such as sharp or protruding objects, loose boards, corrosion, leaks, spills, snow, and ice [3].


Important Safety Note:

Always verify safety information with your organization's specific guidelines and local regulations.
