What kind of conditions can make foot stability hazardous in fall zone 1?

Foot stability can be significantly compromised in fall zone 1 due to wet or uneven surfaces. When surfaces are wet, they can become slippery, increasing the likelihood of slips or falls. Uneven surfaces create instability as they may not provide consistent support for a person's footing, leading to trips or loss of balance. In work environments where materials are loaded and unloaded or where loading operations occur, these conditions exacerbate risks posed to individuals in the fall zone. Therefore, maintaining a solid and stable walking surface is critical to ensuring safety in areas where falls might occur, highlighting the importance of effective load securement practices and environmental safety measures.
