Slip and Fall Statistics
Customer Challenges for Ice:
Food Safety Statistics
n 445,000 or every 3.4 of 100 foodservice workers hurt themselves from a
slip or fall bad enough to require at least a day off from work in 2002.*
n Slips and falls are the 2nd cause of on-the-job deaths.**
Implementing an effective slip and fall prevention program is a restaurant’s
best defense against high workers compensation insurance, liability insurance,
ADA or OSHA fines, or a lawsuit.
OSHA Potential Slip and Fall Hazard
n Working around ice bins, where ice can easily fall onto the floor,
causing puddles.
n “Back injury accounts for 60% of my worker comp claims. Ice management
is identified as part of our safety in motion initiative.” (Major Amusement Park)
n “I get deducted 3 points when the inspector finds a scoop sitting in the ice
or an inappropriate utensil being used.” (Las Vegas Casino)
