Question

select the choice that best completes the following statement.
a common situation where slips, trips, and falls occur is:
a) in an area with poor drainage
b) flooring with anchored mats and runners
c) hot and dry weather conditions
d) walking surfaces with the same degree of traction

Explanation:

Poor drainage can lead to water accumulation on surfaces, reducing traction and increasing the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Anchored mats and runners (b) actually help prevent falls by providing better traction. Hot and dry weather (c) usually doesn't cause slippery conditions. Walking surfaces with the same traction (d) are less likely to cause unexpected slips compared to uneven or wet surfaces from poor drainage.

Answer:

A. In an area with poor drainage
