Over 540,000 slip-fall injuries, requiring hospital care, occur in North America each year. The next victim could be you.

Slip and fall accidents account for over 300,000 disabling injuries per year in North America. One in three serious bone breaks for seniors result in death, within one year of the accident.

Slips and falls account for over 20,000 fatalities per year in North America-i.e. 55 persons per day. It is the second leading cause of death and disability after automobile accidents. Slips and falls kill more workers than all other combined forms of the workplace.
