Question

Slips, trips, and falls account for many general industry injuries. In areas where wet working conditions exist, placing grates on the floor would _____.

Answer 1

Answer: slip

Explanation:

The slip may occur while working on surfaces that are slippery because of wet and oily processes occurring at the workplace. The practices like floor cleaning, debris left on the floor and leakage of material can cause slips. The slip will occur when the floor provides a limited friction for walking.

The trip may occur while walking on the uneven floor. This may occur when the person's foot hit the objects that come in contact while walking. This disturbs the balance of the person while walking.

The slip and trip both can result in fall. This happens when the body gets deviated from the center of balance.

According to the given situation, a slip will occur as the working conditions are wet and the grates on the floor will slip due to lack of friction between the floor and the grates.
