Slips, trips and falls cause over 20% of all hospital job-related injuries, with many hidden costs...and these injuries are largely preventable. Patient falls are a high priority at every hospital. Do you give as much attention to hospital staff slips, trips and falls?

From slips on wet sheer flooring, to trips over equipment, falling on stairs, or hurried inattention, the risks are great, the human pain and suffering can be tremendous – deep tissue contusions, bone fractures, and even head trauma resulting in death – and the costs to the organization even greater.
