Slips, Trips and Falls

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospital admissions among people over the age of 65. In any given year, one in three people in this age group will have a fall.

There are many reasons why slips, trips and falls happen in the home, in the workplace and out in the community. Being aware of these reasons can help you reduce the risk of a fall resulting in a painful sprain, strain, broken bones, cuts and other injuries.
