Business owners 'should work harder' to remove personal injury risks

Managing slips, trips and falls should be a priority for all businesses, it has been claimed.

In order to prevent personal injury claims and accidents, it is vital that organisations have a good management system in place to identify risks and find effective solutions, according to insurance provider Aviva.

"Most slips and trips are due to poor housekeeping such as wet floors or inappropriate or damaged flooring, which can be quickly and easily solved by taking simple and low-cost measures," said Phil Grace, the company's liability risk manager.

However, he added that it is important that businesses take these matters seriously in order to avoid compensation claims being brought against them.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must ensure their employees and members of the public visiting their premises are kept safe from harm and that slip and trip risks are properly controlled.
