Stop the Slip: Why Falls Are a Hidden Epidemic, with Thom Disch

Slips, trips and falls may sound like minor mishaps, but they are a silent epidemic causing devastating injuries, financial losses and even deaths every single day. Entrepreneur and author Thom Disch joins me to expose why falls are one of the most underestimated risks in our lives and workplaces – and what we can do to change that. From psychology to products, from boardroom buy-in to bedtime stories, this conversation unpacks practical ways to stop the slip.

Highlights include:

  • Falls are a hidden epidemic: 14% of deaths in the USA
  • Why we underestimate risk: "that's not me" mentality
  • Built environment impact: floors, stairs and surfaces
  • Safety culture shift: awareness over urgency
  • Technology's role: training tools and distractions
  • Stop the Slip book: stories, stats and strategies
  • Don't Fall, Franny: teaching children safety early
  • Practical tools: HandyTreads solutions and resources
