Slip Accidents: Serious, Scientific, Stoppable - 25 September 2025, 10:30am (UK time)
Slips are a hidden danger we face every day. They cause more major injuries than machinery accidents or falls from height, cost the UK over £1 billion annually, and devastate lives. Yet, with the right knowledge and action, slip accidents are not inevitable—they are stoppable.
