Slips/trips

The verified source is OSHA's historical longshoring incident-summary page. It includes falls and drowning among its main categories and describes waterfront access and edge-related incidents.

The source set does not verify current marine-terminal housekeeping or walking-surface requirements. It also does not establish every site-specific slip or trip control implied by this topic title.

Prepare by asking about your designated walking route and the employer's process for damaged or obstructed access. Those are questions, not claims that a specific control is mandatory everywhere.

Educational orientation only: this guide does not authorize entry, repair, rescue, or work. Follow employer training, approved procedures, manufacturer instructions where applicable, and site rules.

Gold depth here comes from examining incomplete access information. It cannot turn historical summaries into a comprehensive current walking-surface standard.
