Falling is a common risk in daily life, especially when entering new spaces or after changes in familiar environments. Experts recommend being aware of your surroundings to help prevent accidents, such as paying attention to alterations like repaved parking lots or rearranged furniture at work.
However, even with precautions, not all falls can be avoided. Safety specialists suggest that learning how to fall safely can reduce the likelihood of serious injury. Step-by-step guides are available to help individuals cushion the impact if they lose their balance.
The guide on safe falling techniques is supported by Pinnacol, which provides additional resources and assistance for those interested in learning more about workplace safety. For further information or support, individuals are encouraged to contact Nate Johnson at nate.johnson@pinnacol.com.
“Falling safely” sounds like a contradiction — if you’ve ever taken a spill, you know that nothing about it feels safe.
Prevention is the best cure, of course, and awareness can reduce your risk of falling. Falls may occur when you enter a new environment or something in a familiar environment has moved or changed, such as when your workplace parking lot gets repaved or your work kitchen is rearranged so tables sit closer to the door.
But prevention can’t stop every fall. Follow our step-by-step guide to falling safely to cushion the blow the next time you lose your footing.
