The campaign aims to reduce the growing number of accidents and injuries caused by slips and trips at work by raising both worker and employer awareness.
Speedy has developed a free solutions guide and site poster offering practical advice and a range of recommended products.
According to the HSE, 1,000 workers suffer a serious injury following a slip, trip or fall every month. Slips are the main cause of major injury in UK workplaces, while falls from height are the most common cause of fatal accidents.
Mark Turnbull, safety, health, environment and quality director at Speedy Hire, said: “Slips and trips aren’t always taken seriously at work and as a result a high number of people are seriously injured every year. Apart from the obvious affect on people’s lives, this also impacts workforce productivity – costs to employers are estimated to be over £500m annually.”
Further details about the poster and guide, which includes a set of vouchers offering 25% off the hire price of all products featured, are available online at www.speedyhire.co.uk.
