There are two basic types of falls: elevated falls and same-level falls. Same-level falls are most frequent, and elevated falls are more severe, but they can both cause serious personal injury.
Same-level falls are generally slips or trips. Injuries result when the person hits a walking or working surface or strikes some other object during the fall. Over 60% of elevated falls are from less than 10 feet.
In 1999, over one million people fell victim to a slip, trip or falling injury. An estimated 17,000 Americans suffered fatal injuries as a result. Of the estimated 3.8 million disabling injuries each year in the work force,15 percent are due to slips, trips, or falls, which account for 12 to 15 percent of all Workers' Compensation costs. About 5,100 workers died from a fall in 1999.
In a negligence case action, personal injury is described as any harm caused to a person, such as a broken bone, a cut, or a bruise; bodily injury.
One important focus to have in the workplace is safety signs to remind people of slip, trip and fall hazards.
