Our client suffered a sore and swollen wrist after the fall. A wrist injury after a fall is quite a common injury as we put our hands out to try to save injuring ourselves badly and so the wrist frequently takes the momentum of the fall.

• Slips can be prevented by following some common sense guidelines
• Tables should have lips around them to prevent liquids from dripping from work surfaces this is a common slip hazard
• Walkways should always be kept clear of obstructions
•  Spills should be immediately dealt with and where possible this should be attempted as a liquid free clean up
•  Floors should be designed to be non slippery if it is expected that they may have liquids dropped on them frequently
•  Cleaning staff should be prevented from using cleaning products which can increase the slip factor of the floor surface as an example furniture polish on a smooth tile could prove to be a very bad idea
•  Footwear which is chosen for the role is always a good idea if accident are to be avoided
•  Carrying loads trolleys increases the slip risk and should be reduced if possible
•  Pushing trolleys can also increase the risk of slipping
