What are the measures to prevent fall-related accidents? Preventive measures that should be implemented in workplaces with a high number of older workers.

Preventing falls involves advancing from both "environment" and "physical" aspects! We also introduce our company's occupational accident prevention services.

Falls are a common type of workplace accident that can occur in many industries, including manufacturing, logistics, construction, building maintenance, and caregiving. Even seemingly minor incidents such as "slipping," "tripping," or "misstepping" can lead to fractures, bruises, back pain, and long-term absences from work, especially among older workers. The causes of falls are not limited to environmental factors like floors and steps. Physical function factors such as muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and walking ability are also deeply related. In workplaces with a high number of older workers, there are fall risks that cannot be completely mitigated by simply raising awareness or improving the environment. This article organizes useful information for practitioners regarding the main causes of falls, the background that increases fall risks among older workers, preventive measures that should be implemented in the workplace, and the visualization and improvement of fall risks using physical function assessments. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links.
