Slips, Trips And Falls Are The #1 Cause Of Supermarket Employee Injuries

The supermarket industry's over 2.6 million workers are subject to an environment where exposure to spills, high volumes of traffic, uneven floors, cluttered aisles and elevated shelves are the norm. The problem is that overall health and safety in supermarkets and employee well-being are compromised each time they encounter a slip, trip or fall related hazard. Supermarket slip and fall workers' compensation claims total more than $450 million each year. The workplace hazards and risks that grocery store associates encounter daily contribute to the high costs of claims. With every safety hazard your employees face, they are subject to sustaining minor to severe injuries, or worse - a fatality.

In addition to monetary costs, people injured by these avoidable accidents miss an average of 35 days of work a year each.

Supermarket Workplace Accident Prevention

A grocery store is a hotbed of workplace hazards, and one of the most common hazards for grocery crews is slippery supermarket flooring. As a leader, you aren’t just responsible for creating a safe grocery shopping experience for your customers — your supermarket crew deserves to stay safe in the workplace, too. After all, they’re the ones who provide a welcoming environment and ensure inventory is received, stored, and stocked correctly. 

Providing your crew with quality slip-resistant footwear is a proactive step that can help you and your crew stay comfortable and avoid workplace accidents. A Shoes For Crews managed corporate safety program makes it easy to outfit your team with footwear designed to reduce the risk of slipping on wet and greasy floors. We know you have your hands full providing a safe grocery shopping experience, so our safety expert will take the reins to administer your customized program. It’s the smart way to reward and protect your crew with comfortable, protective footwear they’ll love. 

 

Slips, Trips, and Falls: Preventing Accidents in Supermarket Workplaces

Prioritizing the safety of your supermarket crew not only helps your store run smoothly, it can also reduce your risk of worker’s compensation claims. Prevent accidents in the workplace with a safety shoe policy that works. Whether you run a local, independently-owned grocery store or manage a branch of a nationwide chain, a managed safety shoe program from Shoes For Crews can help protect your team and your bottom line.
