It is estimated that more than one million people each year are injured in accidents in which they slip, trip or fall, with some 17,000 dying as a result.  Unsafe work conditions, wet or icy floors and sidewalks, inadequate lighting or poor maintenance can all be causes of so-called slip-and-fall accidents.

Falls alone – from ladders, roofs, scaffolding, vehicles and other work areas – caused 827 deaths on the job in 2006, the latest year for which the government had finalized statistics. But people were also injured or killed at a variety of other premises, including private and public property, such as nursing homes.
