'Stay on your feet' campaign helps
employers prevent costly slip, trip injuries
SFM is helping employers keep employees from falling down on the job with "Stay on your feet" materials which launched recently.
Slip, trip and fall injuries are the most common cause of workplace injuries, according to the National Safety Council. Nationally, the average slip, trip or fall injury costs more than $20,000. As you know, that can significantly impact an employer's premium.
"Stay on your feet" focuses on major hazards including cords, clutter, liquid and stairs as primary causes of slips, trips and falls.
This recent SFM campaign follows last winter's "penguin" theme focusing on winter slip and falls.
As part of the campaign, selected policyholders will receive a direct mailing including themed posters and directions on downloading more posters, table tents, and paycheck stuffers from SFM's Resource Catalog.
You can help employers prevent slip, trip, and fall claims, too. Direct them to the website, or order materials yourself to give out.
