Environmental Assessment for Fall Risks

Environmental assessment for fall risks involves examining a workplace or setting to identify hazards that could cause someone to fall. This includes checking for uneven flooring, poor lighting, clutter, lack of handrails, or slippery surfaces. The goal is to spot potential dangers, understand how they might lead to falls, and implement corrective actions like fixing uneven areas, improving lighting, or adding safety features. Conducting these assessments regularly helps prevent injuries, promotes safety, and creates a safer environment for everyone.
