Training Objectives

Mitigate environmental risks including loose cords, wet spills, and oily surfaces

Inspect structural components like stair treads for looseness or damage

Course Overview

It only takes a quarter of an inch to trip you up.

We often ignore small cracks or bumps in the floor, but OSHA knows that a shift in elevation as small as 1/4 inch is enough to cause a serious fall. This training short trains your eyes to spot the subtle defects in your path before you stumble over them.

We cover the full range of surface threats: from the loose stair tread indoors to the patch of black ice outdoors. We also clarify the legal definition of a "floor hole", did you know any gap larger than 2 inches requires a cover? Watch this video to master the maintenance of the ground you walk on.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

An uneven surface is defined as any change in the floor level that measures 1/4 inch or more.

According to OSHA standard 1926.500(b), a hole is any gap that is larger than 2 inches wide in its least dimension.

Common causes include extension cords, protruding nails, loose floorboards, and step-risers on stairs that are not uniform in height.

In addition to being cautious, workers can use specially designed shoe covers to help mitigate the hazards of frozen and slippery surfaces.

Slips are more frequent when individuals hurry, wear the wrong kind of shoes, or fail to pay attention to where they are walking.
