Slips, Trips and Falls
Program Overview:
Slips, trips, and falls can occur at home, at school, during recreational activities or in the workplace - basically anywhere inside or outside. Slips and trips result from unintended or an unexpected change in the contact between the feet and the ground or walking surface.
