Slips and trips

Myth - Slips and trips only happen due to a lack of attention or carelessness.

While it's true that human error can contribute, environmental factors like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting are often more significant contributors. Many people believe that if you're just more careful, you can avoid these incidents, but even the most cautious individuals can fall victim to an unexpected hazard.

The myth oversimplifies the issue and ignores the importance of proper safety measures, such as maintaining clean, dry, and clear walkways, using non-slip footwear, and ensuring proper lighting and signage to prevent these accidents.
