According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 200,000 workers suffer a slip, trip, or fall injury annually . The key to preventing these injuries is hazard assessment. OSHA's primary standard for slip, trip, and fall hazards is the General Industry Walking-Working Surface standard (29 CFR 1910 Subpart D, which includes §1910.21-30).
