Slips, trips and falls

Risk management and loss control have become sophisticated subjects involving detailed analyses of potential risks, oftentimes with the use of computer modeling. But don't let the small stuff slide. Slips, trips, and falls can create ill will to your customers or clients, and result in lost time if your employees are injured.

There are some checklists that cover everything from frayed carpet to loose extension cords to file drawers left open and unattended to uneven sidewalks. These checklists serve to keep your management team on the alert for such potential hazards.

For a free, 12-page guide on the subject, call the program administrator for GlassInsure, NGA’s sponsored insurance program, at 800/640-7601, and ask for the booklet, “Slips, Trips and Falls.”
