Trips, Slips and Falls

POD has a responsibility to reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls at the developments it manages. POD recognises that the physical condition of the workplace and the working environment are often major contributing factors in accidents and that most accidents that occur in the workplace are due to slips, trips and falls.

Total prevention is, unfortunately, not always achievable, but POD is dedicated to minimising accidents wherever possible. When reported or spotted, trip or slip hazards will be made safe immediately. If they cannot be made safe immediately, they will be isolated, clearly identified and dealt with as soon as possible.
