Slipping is an incident that probably has happened to most of us. The momentary lapse of attention caused while thinking about personal problems or due to a nearby distractive activity makes us slip, trip, or even fall, which in the majority of cases are harmless. But shifting the same scenario to a construction site generates starkly different outcomes.

At a construction site, where there is a multitude of equipment and machines, a slip or fall could be a matter of life and death. Slips and falls are, as a matter of fact, among the most common injuries at such sites, accounting for over 86% of total injuries. Considering the critical impact dangerous slips and falls could have on a worker’s life, establishing appropriate preventive measures to avoid such accidents becomes of utmost importance.
