Workplace - Slips, Trips, Falls & Spills
Stay prepared and keep your site safe
Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common causes of injuries on construction sites. Hazards like uneven ground, scattered materials, loose cables, mud, and spills can quickly turn into serious accidents.
By maintaining good housekeeping, wearing the right footwear, ensuring proper lighting, and cleaning up spills promptly, you can significantly reduce these risks.
👉 Here are some simple safety wins you can put in place on site today…
Let Readyfix be your trusted partner in delivering safe, efficient, and compliant worksites — whether it’s for your first dig or final completion.
Stop floors getting muddy
Keep walkways clear and safe by tackling mud at the source. Use ground protection mats, boot brushes, and wash stations to stop mud from spreading into work areas — saving time on clean-ups and reducing slip risks.
Muddy boots mean messy floors — and more chance of slips. Simple fixes like boot-cleaning stations, entrance mats, and regular sweeping can make a big difference in keeping your site clean and safe.

Store hazardous chemicals safely
Keep everyone on site safe by storing hazardous substances correctly. Use clearly labelled containers, secure storage cabinets, and follow COSHH guidelines to prevent leaks, spills, and harmful exposure.
A tidy site is a safe site — especially when it comes to chemicals. Make sure fuels, paints, and cleaning agents are sealed, labelled, and stored in the right place to protect your team and the environment.
Have First Aid Supplies on Hand
Safety is paramount, and Readyfix regularly remind of their extensive safety range.
Accidents can happen fast — make sure you’re ready. Keep well-stocked first aid kits in easily accessible areas, and ensure workers know where to find them and how to use them. Quick response can make all the difference.
Be ready when the unexpected happens. A clearly marked, fully stocked first aid kit on site helps you act fast and keep minor injuries from becoming major problems.
