ABSTRACT

Jot down at least two typical causes of people having accidents by tripping or slipping at the same level. For example, one cause might be a damaged floor or ground surface.

You may have noted some of the following causes:

a damaged floor or ground surface, such as an uneven pavement; a wet, greasy or icy surface; an unevenness in the surface, such as an unexpected step;

These are all causes relating to the conditions on the floor or ground. You may have also considered possible causes arising from the state or actions of the person who falls, such as fatigue, being drunk, having poor eyesight or running instead of walking.
