Great, thank you.

Good afternoon everyone. Today we're going to talk about something we all do every day but It might seem basic, but we've had real incidents here that show why it's important.

The purpose of today presentation is to prevent accidents and injuries related to stair usage in our facilities.

1. The right way to use stairs is pretty straightforward. Here are the essential things you must do for your safety.

- Always use the handrails on stairs. They're there for a reason - to keep you safe. Holding the rail gives you stability and support, reducing the risk of falls. Make it a habit to use handrails every time you're on stairs.

- Pay full attention to your footing

- Stay focused when using the stairs. Keep your eyes on the direction you're going and avoid any distractions. This means no conversations, no looking at your phone, and no rushing. Your complete attention should be on safely getting up or down the stairs.

- move safely. Take one step at a time

- you need to carry items on the stairs, ask for help. Don't try to manage heavy loads by yourself.

2. Now, let's talk about what you should never do on stairs. These are the important DON'Ts that can help prevent accidents:

- Never run or rush on stairs. Moving too quickly puts you at risk of tripping and falling.

- Don't read documents while using stairs. Looking at papers takes your eyes off the steps and can lead to accidents.

- Don't use your phone or other devices on the stairs. Looking at screens while walking on stairs is dangerous and can cause serious falls.

- Never take shortcuts on stairs to save time or steps. Risking your safety to save a few seconds isn't worth it and can lead to accidents.

3. Let me share some important safety habits we all need to practice on stairs:

- Always face the direction you're traveling and take one step at a time. Avoid skipping steps.

- Keep your phone away and stay free from distractions while going up or down stairs.

- Use the handrail to maintain three points of contact on the stairs for better stability.

- Before using stairs, check for any hazards that could cause accidents.
