slipping (Falling)
Slipping, commonly referred to as falling, occurs when a person loses their balance and falls to the ground. This can happen due to various factors, such as wet or uneven surfaces, obstacles, or improper footwear. Slips can lead to injuries, including sprains, fractures, or bruises, depending on the severity of the fall.
Preventing slips involves maintaining safe environments, such as using non-slip mats, keeping floors dry, and ensuring proper lighting. Awareness of surroundings and wearing appropriate footwear can also reduce the risk of slipping. In workplaces, safety training and regular inspections can help minimize hazards that contribute to falls.
