Where Do Most Slip and Fall Injuries Occur?
Most slip and fall injuries occur in the workplace or at home. Occupational slip and fall accidents are not the primary cause of workplace fatalities, however, they do account for the most days missed by employees.
Among those 65 and older, slip and fall accidents mostly happen in the home. In addition, older adults tend to sustain greater injuries and have longer recovery times. As a result, nursing home admissions have continued to rise.
