Slip-and-fall accidents are a growing problem. The total cost of
these accidents now approaches 80 billion dollars each year, and
that number is expected to double within the next decade. In Falls
Aren't Funny: America's Multi-Billion Dollar Slip-and-Fall Crisis,
author Russell J. Kendzior provides a comprehensive look at one of
the most pervasive yet seldom addressed problems facing our world
today. The book's three parts explore slips-and-fall accidents
themselves, what causes them, and what can be done to prevent them.
Kendzior begins by examining the financial costs, the industries
hardest hit by slips and falls, and the heightened risk to the
elderly population. He then looks at the causes for the numerous
slip-and-fall accidents and injuries, from inadequate floor care to
improper footwear, and the contributions of the insurance, legal,
and manufacturing industries and how they worsen the problem.
Finally, he outlines what can be done to prevent slip-and-fall
accidents, and how everyone from manufacturers, to property owners,
to the general public can help to reverse the trend of this
increasingly expensive and dangerous problem. The book is replete
with stories of real slip-and-fall accidents and injuries,
up-to-date statistics, illustrative charts, and tips for
prevention. It is comprehensive, dealing with all aspects of
slip-and-fall accidents, their causes, and methods of prevention,
while also being accessible and entertaining. It is an informative
and much needed book for all managers, safety professionals,
attorneys, business and property owners, and anyone else concerned
with one of the nation's fastest growing safety crises.
