Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) are the second-largest contributor to non-fatal injuries in the U.S.mining industry. Although well-established as a major source of injury, workplace STFhazardsare still widespread. Few context-specific resources are available that mine operators can use to identify and remediate STFhazardsin the workplace.
