Slips, trips, and falls are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries in the UK. Recent statistics show they account for around 30% of all non-fatal workplace injuries, with an estimated 200,000+ workers affected each year. These accidents can lead to fractures, sprains, back injuries, and time away from work.

A useful way to remember common causes is the LEMURS acronym for slips, trips and falls, which highlights key risk factors such as Lighting, Environment, Maintenance, Uneven surfaces, Rubbish, and Spillages. Employers should address these hazards to keep workplaces safe.
