Condition of floors

Floors must be suitably constructed without uneven or slippery surfaces; be free from obstructions and other slip, trip or fall hazards; and there must be effective drainage in wet areas (Regulation 12). In addition, stairs and steep slopes must be provided with handrails where possible. Traffic routes for pedestrians and vehicles in workplaces should be kept free from obstructions and free from slip, trip or fall hazards.
