Slip or Trip?

At five feet six and a hundred and ten pounds, Queenie Volupides was a sight to be hold and to clasp. When she tore out of the house after a tiff with her husband, Arthur, she went to the country club where there was a party going on.

She left the club shortly before one in the morning and invited a few friends to follow her home and have one more drink. They got to the Volupides house about ten minutes after Queenie, who met them at the door and said, “ Something terrible happened. Arthur slipped and fell on the stairs. He was coming down for another drink — he still had the glass in his hand — and I think he’s dead. Oh, my God — what shall I do? ”

The autopsy conducted later concluded that Arthur had died from a wound on the head and confirmed that he’d been drunk.

You must determine what may have happened. You can either agree or disagree with Queenie’s version.

Do you think Queenie is telling the truth?
Find all the evidence you can that indicates whether or not. Queenie is telling the truth.

Slip, trip, and fall prevention for healthcare workers

Related Papers

In 2003 the health services sector was the largest employer in the USA, and slips, trips and falls (STF) accounted for the largest proportion of lost time injuries (20%). A follow-back study of hospital workers who STF was conducted to better describe STF circumstances and inform ergonomic interventions. One hundred twenty-three health care workers, who reported a STF to the occupational health department in seven US hospitals, were recruited and interviewed using a structured telephone questionnaire. Participants were predominantly female (86%) with a mean age (range) of 46 (19-67). One hundred and eight workers (88%) fell: 53% after slipping, 32% after tripping. Liquid contaminants (e.g., water, cleaning solutions) were involved in 36% of the events. Sixty-four percent of the STF occurred at a transitional area: dry/wet (32%), one type of floor to another (20%), or uneven surfaces (15%). Forty-one percent of workers fell forward, 23% fell to the side, and 21% fell backward. While the hands, knees, and buttocks were most often the points of impact, the back, knees, ankles/feet were most frequently injured. For workers who were injured (93%), strains and sprains (29%), contusions (27%), and non-specific pain and soreness (24%) were typical. Other injuries included abrasions, fractures, edema and lacerations.

Human factors

The aim of this study was to use a theoretical model (bench) for human factors and ergonomics (HFE) and a comparison with occupational slips, trips, and falls (STFs) risk management to discuss patient STF interventions (bedside). Risk factors for patient STFs have been identified and reported since the 1950s and are mostly unchanged in the 2010s. The prevailing clinical view has been that STF events indicate underlying frailty or illness, and so many of the interventions over the past 60 years have focused on assessing and treating physiological factors (dizziness, illness, vision/hearing, medicines) rather than designing interventions to reduce risk factors at the time of the STF. Three case studies are used to discuss how HFE has been, or could be, applied to STF risk management as (a) a design-based (building) approach to embed safety into the built environment, (b) a staff- (and organization-) based approach, and (c) a patient behavior-based approach to explore and understand pa...

Workplace health & safety

The purpose of this study was to describe antecedents and characteristics of nonfatal fall-related injuries among health care workers in the United States. A special request was made for the Bureau of Labor Statistics to obtain nonfatal fall-related injury data from 2008 to 2010. Overall, workers in the nursing-related profession had the highest percentages of workplace fall-related injuries. Ninety-one percent of these injured workers were female, and more than 50% were between the ages of 45 and 64 years. More than 25% of fall injuries resulted in 31 or more workdays being lost. This study indicated that the most affected body parts were the lower extremities, with most injuries resulting in sprains, strains, and tears. Accordingly, this 3-year study revealed that a high number of fall injuries occurred at night for health care workers compared to other workers in the U.S. private sector.

Who Should Use the Workbook?

The Workbook is intended for healthcare facility administrators, safety and health professionals, facility managers, housekeeping managers, food service managers, and workers who are responsible for safety.

Top 10 Hazards

1- contaminants on the floor (water, grease, oil, fluid, food).

What is the hazard? Contaminants on the floor are the leading cause of STF incidents in healthcare facilities [Courtney et al. 2006, Bell et al. 2008]. Water, grease, and other fluids can make walking surfaces slippery. Well-documented housekeeping procedures, correct floor cleaning, proper usage of mats and signs, accessible clean-up materials, and slip-resistant shoes will help to minimize the risk of slipping (ANSI 2001). ( Slips,Trips and Falls checklist )

Where does the hazard occur?

Food services areas: kitchen, cafeteria, serving line, buffet, ice machines, freezers, dishwashers, sinks, and drains (please refer to the drainage section for additional information on page 14) (see Figures 1.1 and 2.3)
Decontamination area: when wet equipment is transferred from one area to another
Soap dispensers
Drinking fountains
Building entrances, where rain and snow are tracked inside

Prevention Strategies

Provide and maintain a written housekeeping program. A written housekeeping program can help ensure the quality and consistency of housekeeping procedures. A copy of the housekeeping program should be provided to all employees and they should know where to find additional copies. The program should describe

How to immediately contact the housekeeping department
Where and how cleaning materials and products are stored
When to use wet floor signs and barriers and where signs are stored
When specific areas of the healthcare facility should be cleaned
What cleaning methods are appropriate for different areas and surfaces

Ways that Mats Create Safe, Slip-Free Work Environments

Keep floors clean and dry.

Encourage workers to cover, clean, or report spills promptly.
Hang or place spill pads (see Figures 1.3a, 1.3b, 1.3c), paper towel holders, pop-up-tent wet floor signs (see Figures 1.4a, 1.4b) in convenient locations throughout the healthcare facility so employees have easy access to products to clean, cover, and highlight a spill.
Advertise phone/pager numbers for housekeeping through emails, posters, and general awareness campaigns.
Place water-absorbent walk-off mats where water, ice, or soap may drip onto the floor (see Figure 1.5). Use beveled-edge, flat, and continuous mats. (For more information on mats, please refer to the section on Improper Use of Floor Mats).
Provide walk-off mats, paper towel holders, trash cans, and umbrella bags near entrances and water fountains to minimize wet floors (see Figure 1.6, page 12).
Mats should be large enough so that several footsteps will take place on the mat; if there is water around or beyond the mat, it means that the mat is not large enough and/or is saturated and needs to be replaced.
Secure mats from moving and make sure they have slip-resistant backing. Remind staff to lay mats in the correct position daily, and use visual cues such as tape on the floor if necessary.
Make sure that drip pans of ice machines and food carts are properly maintained so that water does not spill onto the floor.

Understanding the basic concepts of slips is imperative to understand how slip-related falls occur and eventually develop preventive strategies accordingly. This chapter aims to introduce all the basic terminologies associated with slips and falls. The different approaches to understand and comprehend slips and slip-related falls mainly the objective, subjective and psychological approaches to understand slips and falls have also been dealt with in this chapter.
