"Shattered Lives" is a campaign of the Health and Safety Executive, UK. Nearly 11000 workers suffered serious injury as a result of a slip or trip in the UK last year. Reducing this unnecessary injury toll is a priority. Users are supposed to find out what happens when workers are put at risk and what they can do to stop slips and trips in their workplace. The website, posters and brochures offer examples from five different idustries: Food Retail, Food & Drink Manufacturing, Catering, Building & Plant Maintenance and Construction. For each industry, one worker and the story of his accident is being presented to show what can happen at work.
