Did you know?
2.3 million non-fatal fall injuries occurred among mature adults.
662,000 of these individuals were hospitalized.
Less than half of mature adults who fell reported this to their health care providers.
In 2013, these falls cost $30 billion in medical care and surgical costs.
Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries.
Those age 75 plus are four to five times more likely to fall than those ages 65 to 74.

Safety Tips for Slips, Trips and Falls Prevention
• Use rubber mats or other non-slip materials on slippery floors...or better yet, apply our anti-slip floor treatment and minimize the cost associated with mats. • Rugs should be in good condition, free of curled edges or tears. • Keep passageways and aisles clear of materials. • Outside yards and walking areas should be kept free of debris, ice, and snow. • Stairways should be well lit and have secure handrails. The stairs should be kept clean, dry and free of obstructions.

A "slip" occurs when there is too little traction or friction between the shoe and walking surface.
A "trip" occurs when a person’s foot contacts an object in their way or drops to a lower level unexpectedly, causing them to be thrown off-balance. A trip most often results in a person falling forward, while a slip most often results in the person falling backward.
A "fall" occurs when you are too far off-balance.

According to the CDC,
Falls among older adults in 2000 cost the U.S. health care system over $19 million...that's 30 billion in 2010 dollars.
With the population aging, both the number of falls and costs to treat fall injuries are likely to increase.
By 2020, the cost of falls will be almost $55 billion.
