Preventing Slips, Trips & Falls and Preventing Sprains & Strains

New Milford Employees-Only Session
April 20, 2018
10:30 AM - 12:00 Noon   - Check-in begins at 10:00 AM

Learning Objectives

PREVENTING SLIPS, TRIPS & FALLS

Keeping a "sure footing" is one of the best and simplest ways to prevent painful, debilitating injuries, or worse, for both employees and other users of public facilities. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 106 workers died as a result of a slip and fall on the same level in 2013, while falls to a lower level killed 574 workers. On average, a slip and fall injury results in nine lost-work days. 

This section of the CIRMA training and education program describes the ways slips, trips, and fall injuries can be prevented through the proper use and maintenance of flooring material, housekeeping procedures, incident tracking, and the elimination of obstacles and hazards. 

Topics in this training program include:

  • Causes of slips, trips, and falls.
  • OSHA standards.
  • Proper footwear for various environments.
  • Safe use of ladders.
  • Floor and stairway maintenance.

PREVENTING SPRAINS & STRAINS

This CIRMA training program explains and reinforces proper lifting and moving techniques to help employees prevent these types of injuries. The instructor illustrates the application of these techniques with a number of real-life scenarios developed from actual municipal work environments.

Topics in this training program include:

  • Principles of back safety.
  • Anatomy of the human back.
  • Common causes of back injury.
  • Safe lifting, pulling, and pushing techniques.
  • How to identify your limitations, pacing your efforts.
  • Preventive measures--exercises and stretches to tone and strengthen your back.

Audience

This training program is designed for:

  • All municipal employees
