Slips and Trips Checklist for Communal Areas
by Linda Kerry, from the Community
This slips and trips checklist helps facilities teams assess communal areas for hazards across internal walkways and external routes. It covers floor condition, obstructions, spill reporting and cleanup, cleaning frequency, visibility of changes in level, and clear marking of steps. External checks include potholes, debris, leaf buildup, and arrangements for clearing ice and snow. Use it to document visits, record issues, assign actions, capture photos, and escalate manager or supervisor concerns, supporting safer, compliant premises.
