Presented by Andrew Merryweather, PhD & Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Utah

Falls are common, costly, and preventable, yet in 2019, 880 workers died in falls and 244,000 were injured badly enough to require days off of work. This presentation will review current research on how falls happen, and how to prevent slips, trips, and falls. Learners will explore how to identify hazards, create a fall risk awareness program, and how to implement strategies to reduce hazards.

At the completion of this activity, the learner will be able to:
- Describe why the prevention of slips, trips, and falls is important
- Review how falls happen
- Discuss how to prevent falls from slips and trips
- Identify what you can do to avoid falls at work
