  5. Spills: When there is spilled liquid on the floor that has not been promptly cleaned, it may pose a serious slip-and-fall danger. Unrepaired walkways: Walkways that are uneven or cracked, when left unrepaired, can cause workers, customers or guests to trip and fall. Weather-related conditions: Rain, ice or snow can cause slippery conditions both indoors and outdoors and pose a serious hazard. Stairs: When stairs have bunched-up carpeting or are broken or uneven, they may cause trip-and-fall accidents that may lead to devastating injuries.

When the flooring is unsuitable for the activity that is carried out at the place of work, then there is the danger of slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents.Inadequate  lighting: When there is lack of sufficient lighting, visibility is hampered and there is the potential for falls.
