Hey Watch Out, Slips Trips and Falls

Welcome back to the Safer VRS Podcast. I'm excited to have you here for today's episode, as we delve into a topic that lies at the heart of property management safety - slips, trips, and falls.

Now, you might be thinking, "Haven't we covered this before?" And you're right, we have, but the significance of this subject is so immense that it deserves our attention again and again.

Slips, trips, and falls account for roughly half of the calls I receive in the property management business, and they remain one of the leading causes of incidents and injuries in our industry.

But here's the key point: we're not just going to discuss these accidents after they happen or when an attorney or insurance company calls us.

No, today, we're going to focus on prevention - understanding how to recognize potential hazards, take proactive measures, and create a safer environment for our guests, owners, and employees.

Key Topics:

•  Understanding Slips, Trips, and Falls: We'll explore what causes these incidents in our properties and property management business.
•  Hazard Recognition: Discover how to recognize potential hazards and reduce the impact of incidents or injuries for guests and workers.
•  Prevention Strategies: Learn how to prevent slips, trips, and falls through proper safety measures and controls.
•  The Power of the Subconscious Mind: I'll share a personal story that highlights the significance of our subconscious in identifying potential hazards.

Remember, slips, trips, and falls are the leading causes of serious incidents and fatalities in almost every property, including short-term vacation rentals. By implementing proper controls, regular inspections, and focusing on hazard recognition, we can significantly reduce the likelihood of these incidents occurring and ensure the safety and well-being of our guests, owners, and workers.

Thank you for joining me today. Stay safe and vigilant, and I look forward to bringing you more safety tips in future episodes.

Until then, take care and have a great week!
