ABSTRACT
Slip, trip falls (STF) in the workplace present particular challenges to those responsible for their prevention and investigation. This chapter examines the issues surrounding this from a psychological point of view, in an attempt to explain the ways in which workplace managers and fall victims might regard STF. It is suggested that certain psychological biases are unhelpful when it comes to falls, in as much as they limit the scope of investigation, reducing and inhibiting effective steps to prevention.
