What should you do if you have a slip trip or fall?
As soon as an accident happens your first reaction will be to leave the scene as quickly as possible out of embarrassment, but that is possibly the worst thing to do. What you should to and as soon after the accident as possible is: - Take a photograph of the location of the accident, the floor surface, spillages, uneven flooring etc.
- Write down the name address and telephone of any witness.
- Fill out an accident report if there is one.
- Keep the shoes you were wearing and put them in a clean plastic bag, do not clean them.
- Keep the items that you slipped on if you can or at least photograph them.
