Ergonomics analysis of falling among workers at workplace

Slips and trips are the most common cause of major injuries at work. Fall accidents continue to be a significant cause of fatal injuries and economic losses. Identifying the risk factors causing slip-induced falls is key to developing better preventive measures to reduce fall accidents. Although man...
