Stumbles, slips and falls - rather a side issue? Not at all: Nearly 25 percent of all trips and work accidents are caused by a fall. Very often, the causes of an accident is rather small: two-handed carrying of loads such as, but also inappropriate footwear or carelessly laid cables. There are also structural defects such as damaged floors, poor stairs or poor lighting. This campaing helps reduce the number of accidents. Emplyees and workers are motivated to be aware of tripping, slipping and falling traps, mark dangerous areas, as long as they are not "defused", with flags and stickers – the campaign offers a ready supply for that. They can mobilise their colleagues and employees and take part in hands-on activities. Safety-conscious behavior, in addition to the best technical and organizational security at the premises – that is a way to avoid most accidents.
