The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a hard-hitting campaign to make public liability insurance holders aware of the dangers of slips, trips and falls.
New figures from the safety body showed that these incidents are the most common cause of injury in the workplace, costing society £800 million each year.
In Wales last year, there were 880 major injuries to workers, with a further 1,640 having to take more than three days off because of incidents like a slip, trip or fall.
The HSE is now launching the latest phase of its Shattered Lives campaign, which aims to reduce these incidents. It will involve raising awareness of the impact that slips can have on people, as well as offering practical advice and guidance to public liability insurance holders.
On the campaign website, the HSE advises firms to find ways to avoid working at height, pointing out that training must also be given for people who have to use equipment to reach or work on anything off the ground.
