By understanding how “fall factors” such as balance, gravity, friction and momentum contribute to these incidents; we can take preventative measures to prevent falls. That’s the purpose of this program...to prevent fall-related incidents by providing viewers with an understanding of the factors involved in every fall as well as the common hazards and unsafe actions that make a fall much more likely.
- How controlling our center of gravity helps us maintain our balance.
- How gravity, friction and momentum contribute to slips, trips and falls.
- What precautions to take to prevent falls resulting from slips.
- Why it is important to wear proper footwear for the traveling surface.
- What measures to take to avoid falls resulting from trips.
- What types of unsafe acts contribute to fall-related incidents.
