Winter-related slips, trips and falls have a significant impact on Alberta workplaces and workers each year. Encouraging employers, supervisors and workers to be extra vigilant could be the key to reducing these incidents.
The winter slip, trip and fall resources are available on the OHS Resource Portal and come in two formats:
Bulletins – with a summary of slip, trip or fall hazards and suggested controls.
MicroLearnings – Short, single-focused one-page documents to provide quick hits of information. Copy and paste, or print and post, for sharing at meetings, in emails or to enhance your organization’s safety communications.
