"WorkCover urges businesses 
to prevent slips, trips and falls"

Oiltrac becomes an International member of Spill Control Association Of America

Consider the following
27/03/2013 WorkCover NSW 
is reminding businesses of the importance of preventing injuries from slips, trips and falls after more than 71,000 workers were injured and 24 killed over the past three years.

• Ensure your workplace policy and procedures for cleaning up spills clearly identifies who is responsible for isolating and

   cleaning it up without delay.

• Ensure that all staff are appropriately trained and instructed in the spills clean-up procedures.

• Making sure there is easy access to equipment and materials for cleaning up spills. Use absorbent materials for cleaning up

   spills. The material used should not leave a residue.

• Substances should be transported and carried in appropriate containers to avoid spills. Use lids or covers where necessary.

   Poor packaging causes spills, use alternative containers.

Having identified hazards, the risks arising from them should be assessed. Risk assessment involves determining the likelihood of an incident occurring, and the level of harm that could result. There is not likely to be a single cause for a slip, trip or fall on the same level, and each cause needs to be assessed.



It is important to set a priority for the elimination of hazards. For example, the provision of good slip resistant footwear alone is not sufficient protection against slipping on smooth floors with oil or grease on the floor. 

The first priority should be to avoid the spills. If this proves to be impractical, suitable slip resistant flooring should be installed.

Oiltrac promotes the effective procedures for preventing and controlling slips and falls from spills, on hard surfaces and the correct clean-up of spills on tarmacs, soil, water courses, lakes rivers, harbours.
