The catering industry and kitchens are a good example of places prone to falls and slips.

What should the employer do?
To help prevent this type of accident, the employer must consider the causes that can cause these falls on the same level in the workplace and decide whether the precautions taken are sufficient to prevent them effectively. Once the risks have been identified, they must be controlled.
