Indoor walking surface irregularities are damaged, warped, buckled, or uneven flooring surfaces that may cause people to slip, trip, or fall. You can control this risk by:

· Replacing or re-stretching loose or buckled carpeting

· Removing, patching underneath, and replacing indented or blistered vinyl tile

· Eliminating trip hazards over a quarter-inch high in all areas of pedestrian travel, using beveling or ramps

· Replacing smooth flooring materials in areas normally exposed to water, grease, and/or particulate matter with rougher-surfaced flooring

· Making sure elevators are leveled properly so elevator floors line up evenly with hallway floors
