Posted By Ollie Verardi Have had an LTI (RIDDOR) Accident when someone slipped on some steps. Is this a slip / trip on the same level or a fall from height? They slipped on some steps (not ladders!) and landed on the steps, they did not fall down the steps although they have 'pulled their shoulder' and have been provided with a sick note by their GP and as such it will be an over 3 day injury. Thanks! Ollie

Posted By Fornhelper Hi Ollie, Personally I'd classify it as a slip / trip / fall on the same level...I always relate 'falls from height' as a fall 'through space'...though not in the Star Trek sense !!!! FH

Posted By Ollie Verardi Hi all, The steps in question are a permanent structure forming a bridge over a production line. In other words, the person climbs up some steps overa bridge and then down some steps back to ground level. The IP fell as they was going down the steps and fell backwards on to the steps, the injury occurred as they 'pulled' their shoulder on the bannister and their back hit the step itself. At the moment I am thinking this is a slip, trip fall rather than a fall from height. Do you agree?
