By implementing a scientific, measurable, audited and documented program that identifies and prevents the causes of slips and falls, you’ll reduce injuries, insurance premium dollars and direct costs. Moreover, you will be protecting your employees, customers and future profits. Kenneth Fisher is an advisor to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) and serves on the NFSI/ANSI B-101 committee, which is establishing a test method for measuring wet static coefficient of friction of common hard floor materials. He is chairman of a sub-committee (NFSI/ANSI B-101-2), which is developing a standard for chemicals and treatments for hard tile surfaces. He served on ASTM’s F-15 Committee dealing with slip/fall issues. He can be reached at kfisher@nu-safe.com and (859) 493-0701. conditions the incidents occurred. Then, appropriately plan and direct your remedial efforts. Performing physical inspections of incident areas might offer insight about causes, enabling a more focused and effective loss-control process. Qualitative analysis examines conditions, frequency, severity and other patterns. It determines what type of footwear was being worn. It investigates whether there was a contami- nant on the floor. It asks if “wet floor” signs were in place. It checks to see if there was a floor mat in place. It asks whether this could have been a trip fall, instead of a slip fall. It documents the shift and time the event occurred. Quantitative analysis, on the other hand, determines the value or amount of the losses, projects future losses based on past losses, and estimates the overall future cost of risk.
