tripping hazards
Things causing falls
Tripping hazards are objects, surfaces, or conditions that might cause someone to trip and fall.
The phrase appears constantly in safety contexts—workplace training, building codes, liability warnings: Please keep walkways clear of tripping hazards.
Loose cables, uneven flooring, cluttered stairs, and wet surfaces all qualify.
The plural form dominates because hazards rarely come alone.
