The key messages are: 1. Slips and trips are the direct cause of a substantial number of reportable accidents and are also the trigger for some fall from height accidents. 2. Many of these accidents can be easily prevented by ensuring good order on sites and by ensuring that tripping hazards are removed. 3. Messy and untidy site are often an indicator of general health and safety failings. 4. Plan ahead: order materials at the right time, deliver to storage areas close to where they are needed, etc. 5. Actively manage housekeeping: keep walkways clear, work areas tidy and free from obstructions/trailing leads. 6. Do not tolerate untidy and cluttered sites. Remember: stack it, store it, clear it, don't trip over it.
