Typical Causes of Slip/Trip and Fall Accidents 

Accidents are usually the result of someone’s fault or negligence. They can also happen because of a deliberate violation of safety-norms due to cost-cutting etc. Some accidents happen because the owner/occupier was unaware of the safety-norms. However all these reasons do not reduce their liability or responsibility for ensuring safety.

Typical reasons include:

• Liquid spills/puddles from air-conditioning units
• Unsalted/Un-sanded parking lots, entrances, exits
• Poorly-lit areas
• Unanchored mats/floor-coverings/rugs
• Missing/damaged tiles
• Malfunctioning elevators/escalators
