Walking and Working Surfaces

This OSHA 10 equivalent course explains how we depend on the surfaces that we walk and work on for a lot of things to provide the support we need to position ourselves properly, to help us use our muscles efficiently, to keep our balance and do our work safely. But we often take their condition for granted, and that is a big mistake.

Year after year slips, trips and falls make up the majority of on-the-job accidents. They cause almost 20% of disabling occupational injuries, and thousands of fatalities annually. Yet most of these accidents could have been prevented.

TPC Training's Systems' online and safety video training on Walking and Working Surfaces identifies the hazards that are associated with different surfaces, and provides the practical information and specific procedures maintenance employees need to help prevent slips, trips and falls on the job.

Topics covered in this industrial safety course include:

– The fundamentals of safe surfaces.
– Walkways and floors.
– Stairs and fixed ladders.
– Portable ladders.
– Scaffolding.
