Abstract

There are several factors that prompt the slip-and-fall incidents and this study focuses on seven factors. Epidemiology approach was used to determine the factors of slip-and-fall incidents, and questionnaire was selected as an instrument for data collection. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed to evaluate how the respondents perceived the slip-and-fall factors while Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess the internal consistency for each domain in the survey. Subsequently, the factors were ranked in accordance with the total variance recorded.
