How can you avoid
accidents at work?
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking accidents won’t
happen to you. In the EU, slips, trips and falls occur every 3 minutes,
resulting in 4.5 million accidents every year in the workplace. The pain
and inconvenience to staff and the public is considerable, but there is
also the business cost:
■■ Accidents in the workplace result in more than 3 days’ absence in
20% of cases.
■■ Cost in medical expenses, sick pay and compensation approximately
20 billion every year.
■■ Represent 33% of all reported injuries, with 50% of incidents
involving members of the public.
Rubbermaid’s complete range of signs, barricades and cleaning
equipment forms your main line of defence against slips, trips and falls
in the workplace.
