Hospital Walking/Working Audit Service
Maintain Clean, Dry Surfaces to Prevent Slips, Trips, Falls and Injuries
OSHA requires that all permanent places of employment – including hospitals – adhere to its standards for walking/working surfaces.
In order to comply, hospitals must keep floors clean and dry; provide warning signs for wet floor areas; and keep aisles, passageways and exits clear and in good repair, among other requirements. Minimizing or eliminating unsafe slips, trips and falls (S/T/F) conditions will significantly reduce OSHA-recordable accidents and lost work days.
