'Stop Slips in Kitchens' campaign
Slip and trip accidents can happen for a number of reasons,
but all too frequently we jump to conclusions about why they happen
rather than really looking for the true cause or, we decide that it
is just one of those things and do nothing.
The leaflets below have been designed to help you reduce the
risk of slipping in your kitchen and help you comply with health
and safety legislation. They cover topics such as flooring
cleaning, types of floor surface and footwear.
