Slip, Trip & Fall Prevention: Assessment
Start reducing slips, trips and falls with a risk assessment using Zurich’s 10-point Slip, Trip & Fall (STF) contributing factor rating system.
Overview
No matter what industry you are in, slips, trips and falls (STFs) account for one of the greatest workers’ compensation and general liability exposures. This can have a significant financial impact on your business. In the U.S., over 8.7 million people are injured by slips, trips and falls every year, according to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
To understand where and how STF risks could occur on your property, our risk engineers can perform an STF assessment using Zurich’s 10-point STF contributing factor rating system. The program follows a logical process to identify the areas that have the greatest potential for a slip, trip and fall incident. The 10-point analysis is based on 10 risk factors identified by forensic analysis of Zurich STF claims.
The assessment evaluates designated areas of the property, rating each contributing factor potential from very low to very high. This data helps to develop strategies to minimize the potential risk. We then provide a comprehensive risk improvement report outlining the process, illustrating the results and suggesting ways to reduce the risk of slip, trip and fall incidents.
The Zurich 10-point method of evaluating areas starts with understanding the contributing risk factors that commonly combine to cause a slip, trip and fall event. We have outlined these contributing factors in an evaluation form that is designed to be easy to use. We will show you how to use the tool step by step, providing examples where appropriate.
