Creating Safer Workplaces: Footfall Ltd Tackles Slip, Trips and Falls with Free Site Surveys

At Footfall Ltd, we believe every accident is one too many. That’s why we’re stepping up our commitment to workplace safety with a dedicated campaign to reduce slips, trips, and falls — the number one cause of workplace injuries across Ireland and Europe.

According to the Health and Safety Authority (HSA), slips, trips and falls account for over one-third of reported workplace accidents. Beyond the immediate human impact, these incidents often lead to:

• Lost working days and reduced productivity.
• Significant insurance and legal costs.
• Lasting reputational damage for employers.

For Footfall Ltd, preventing these accidents is not just about compliance - it’s about protecting people, businesses, and communities.

Understanding the Hazards

Workplace slips, trips, and falls are rarely random. They usually stem from identifiable hazards, such as:

• Slippery surfaces – caused by rainwater, spillages or cleaning processes.
• Uneven flooring – cracked tiles, worn carpets or poorly maintained outdoor paths.
• Obstructions – loose cables, storage in walkways or untidy workspaces.
• Poor visibility – inadequate lighting in stairwells, corridors and loading areas.
• Footwear and flooring mismatch – inappropriate shoes or surfaces without anti-slip protection.

When left unaddressed, these hazards create a chain of risk that can have serious financial and personal consequences.

A Proactive Approach: Footfall Ltd’s Free Site Safety Survey

To support organisations in tackling these issues, Footfall Ltd is offering a free, site safety survey.

During the survey, our experienced consultants will:

• Conduct a full walk-through inspection of your workplace, identifying hidden and visible risks.
• Assess flooring types, maintenance practices, and traffic areas where slips and trips are most likely.
• Deliver a tailored risk-reduction report, complete with practical, cost-effective recommendations.

This survey is not just about spotting hazards - it’s about equipping your business with the knowledge and tools to create a culture of prevention.
