Like most situations in life, the best way to protect your business from slip and fall claims is to do what you can to avoid them in the first place. Here are some effective ways to prevent slip and falls at your business:

• Clean up any spills immediately and also post warning signs until the area is completely dry.
• Repair any areas where there are uneven floors, carpeting seams, or other abnormalities that could cause a fall.
• Keep all hallways and aisles free of items that could cause someone to trip or fall.
• Make sure that all steps and transitional areas have the necessary handrails and other safety equipment.
• Don’t forget about outside areas, keep parking lots and sidewalks free of debris and patch any potholes right away.
