Stair Safety: Preventing Falls and Injuries

Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation

Introduction

  • Welcome to the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation's division of safety and hygiene micro training series on stair hazards.
  • Falls are the second leading cause of fatalities in the workplace.
  • Stair falls can be very serious and cause severe injuries.
  • This micro training video will provide tips and techniques to reduce the likelihood of falls on steps.

Tip #1: Eyes on the Task

  • Watch your footing on each step.
  • Avoid distractions or rushing.
  • Maintain focus and concentration while using the stairs.

Tip #2: Use the Hand Rail

  • Empty hands and arms to allow for proper use of the handrail.
  • Using the handrail provides stability and helps catch oneself if stumbling occurs.
  • Always wash or sanitize hands after touching the handrail.

Tip #3: Inspect the Steps Periodically

  • Do a visual check for items, liquids, or damaged steps.
  • Watch for slippery surfaces and keep steps clear of any obstacles.
  • Ensure good lighting for better visibility.

Tip #4: Walk Intentionally on the Steps

  • Use the full width of the stair tread, not just the tip.
  • Lift your entire foot clear of the tread, including the heel.
  • Avoid skipping steps and maintain a deliberate walking pace.

Tip #5: Find it, Fix it

  • Report unsafe conditions and hazards.
  • Don't ignore or walk past hazards; take action to address them.
  • Prevent future accidents by being proactive in identifying and correcting unsafe conditions.
