#Sliptember – raising awareness of the importance of slip safety throughout September

We need to solve the £1bn+ annual problem, affecting millions, hiding in plain sight under our feet: slips-and-falls

The three big problems around slip safety:

⚠️ Slips are more serious than most think

⚠️ Slips are more costly than most think

⚠️ Slips are more complex than most think

Sliptember’s three goals:

✅ Challenge the misperception that slips are inevitable, simple-to-solve, and even funny

✅ Promote the proven science of slip prevention, which typically sees 50%+ reductions in accidents

✅ Encourage government to legislate slip testing as an annual requirement in buildings in the UK
