The Law Regarding Slippery Floors


ha ha see what I did there?
Sorry serious subject is indeed serious:-


Under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 Employers have to ensure their employees and anyone else who could be affected by their work (such as visitors, members of the public, patients etc.), are kept safe from harm and that their health is not affected.
This means slip and trips risks must be controlled to ensure people do not slip, trip and fall.
Employees must use any safety equipment provided and must not cause danger to themselves or others.
Manufacturers and suppliers have a duty to ensure that their products are safe.
They must also provide information about appropriate use.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 build on the requirements of the Act and include duties on employers to assess risks (including slip and trip risks) and where necessary take action to safeguard health and safety.


The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require floors to be suitable for the workplace and work activity, kept in good condition and kept free from obstructions.
Also, people must be able to move around safely.
