Today’s Guest:
This time for Sliptember, I’m
investigating the problems with bundling slips, trips, and falls
together, exploring why it’s dangerous and why it needs to
stop.
I go into depth about why we
categorize slips, trips, and falls together even though they’re
greatly different risks, and explain what we can do to overcome
this issue.
I also talk about the difference
between slips and trips in insurance claims costs, and what we can
do to separate these problems and reduce the risk of each
accordingly.

Quotables:
- 15:14 - “We’ve got to stop allowing slips,
trips, and falls to be grouped together because they’re not the
same thing and if you’ve got a problem with people slipping and you
start to come in and think this is very straightforward let's just
look at housekeeping you're missing the point. If you’ve got a
problem with people tripping conversely and you start to come in
and do slip tests and all sorts of other things like that you’re
also missing the point, so we need to split these out and
understand what’s really going on.”
- 19:40 - “Unless we can stop grouping slips
and trips together we’re always going to have a problem because
trips are simple and if we bundle trips and slips people,
therefore, think slips are simple and then we don't put the time,
effort or energy into solving them and then we still continue to
have such a big problem, because remember the slips, trips, and
falls category is massively dominated by slips according to the
data.”
