slip hazards
Causes of tumbles
Slip hazards are conditions that increase the risk of losing footing—wet floors, icy sidewalks, loose rugs, spilled liquids.
The term appears in workplace safety contexts, warning signs, and liability discussions: The inspector identified several slip hazards in the kitchen.
Related to trip hazards, which catch the foot rather than cause it to slide.
