working surfaces/behavior

• Walking/Working surfaces
• Where appropriate, painting yellow lines to
  identify working and walking areas which are
  never obstructed by objects
• Lighting adequate to ensure proper vision or
  moving from light to dark areas can cause a
  person to slip on an slippery surface or trip

Housekeeping inspectionsand other actions

• Regularly scheduled Inspections

• Carrying materials which obstruct view
• Failure to use handrails

44
Behaviors Leading to injury

• Pace (rushing)
• Walking too fast or running can
• cause major problems
• Normal walking the most force is exerted when the
  heel strikes the ground
• Walking fast or running, you land harder on the
  heel of the front foot and push harder off the
  sole of the rear foot
• A greater COF is thus required to prevent slips
  and falls.
• Rapid changes in direction create a similar
  problem.

Soft rubber soles and heels with rubber cleats
provide a high coefficient of friction
