Abstract Fall incidents resulting from slips or trips are one of the most common injuries at workplaces . On average, they cause 40% of all reported major injuries and lead to other types of serious accidents such as falls from height (HSE 2011). Slips and falls are also one of the leading categories of non-traffic accidents in terms of serious injuries and fatalities, as well as one of the leading causes ofinjury-related deaths for the elderly aged 65 and over (Layne and Landen 1997; Scott 2009; Yeoh et al. 2013).
