The floors in our factory are always wet and slippery. Three people have fallen this month.

Slips and trips are the most common cause of workplace injury in the UK, accounting for over a third of all major injuries. Management is WRONG to blame workers. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, your employer must: - Keep floors in good condition and free from obstructions - Provide effective drainage in wet areas - Use anti-slip floor coatings or matting - Provide non-slip safety footwear - Clean spills immediately - Use appropriate warning signs Three falls in one month is a pattern that indicates systemic failure. Report to HSE: 0300 003 1647. Each injured worker should document their injury in the accident book.

This is an important workplace health question. Based on the information above, we recommend speaking with your GP if you have health concerns and contacting HSE (0300 003 1647) if your employer is not meeting their legal obligations. Keep written records of all incidents and communications. Please note: this is general health information, not a substitute for professional medical advice.
