Slips, trips, and falls continue to be the primary cause of employee injuries at the University of Waterloo. As we all have a role to play in the prevention of these injuries, the Slip Trip and Falls Standard aims to decrease these incidents.
We encourage all employees to report any unsafe, slippery areas to Plant Operations at ext. 43793 (24 hours).
See the Slips Trips and Falls Standard for more information.
