The purpose of the poster is to remind employees and visitors to stay alert, follow good housekeeping practices, and report hazards promptly to maintain a safe and hazard-free workplace.

You should display this poster in all areas where there is a risk of slipping, tripping, or falling. This includes entrances, stairways, hallways, kitchens, restrooms, loading docks, and outdoor walkways. It is especially important in environments such as warehouses, factories, hospitals, and schools—places with high foot traffic or frequent spills. Placing it near potential hazards (e.g., wet floors, uneven flooring, or storage zones) ensures the message is visible exactly where it’s needed most.

The content of a “Trips, Slips, and Falls” poster typically includes safety reminders such as keeping walkways clear, cleaning spills immediately, wearing appropriate footwear, using handrails, and ensuring proper lighting. Many posters also use visuals—like icons of people slipping or simple safety diagrams—to grab attention quickly and communicate the message even without extensive text. This visual approach is especially effective in multicultural or multilingual workplaces where not all employees may read the same language fluently.
