In healthcare and nursing institutions, slips, trips, and falls (STFs) cause a range of non-fatal injuries. These incidents have a detrimental effect on the healthcare personnel and the overall productivity of the institute ( R. Morris and S. O’Riordan, “Prevention of falls in hospital,” Clin. Med. (Northfield. Il)., vol. 17, no. 4, pp. 360–362, Aug. 2017, https://doi.org/10.7861/CLINMEDICINE.17-4-360 .; C. Staal, B. White, B. Brasser, L. LeForge, A. Dlouhy, and J.

When it comes to missed workdays in the US healthcare business, STFs are the second biggest issue ( T. K. Courtney et al., “Slips, trips and falls in US hospital workers-detailed investigation,” in 16th World Congress on Ergonomics (IEA2006), 2006.). During their time working at the hospital, over a quarter of the workforce, mostly nurses, have reported experiencing STFs ( T. K.
