Praise for Stop the Slip: Thom's book was an enjoyable mix of real life stories and practical information that reminds everyone about the dangers of fall injuries. The ALERT System provided actionable fall prevention steps that can make everyone, no matter what age, safer. Stop the Slip is a book that should be on everyone's reading list. Kathleen Cameron, MPH - Senior Director, Center for Healthy Aging - National Council on Aging Stop the Slip does an excellent job of explaining the cause and effect nature of slips and falls and their ever-growing costs. The book was well researched and comprehensive and is a must read for every risk and safety professional. Russ Kendzior - President and Founder - National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) I was shocked by the economic impact of falls on the US economy. Thom builds a very strong case for every individual and every business to invest in fall prevention. Don't procrastinate, read this book, follow the action plan and avoid a fall injury. Steven Rogers - Professor - Harvard Business School Thom Disch's Stop the Slip - a MUST READ for safety minded people and organizations - is the most comprehensive document on this subject written to date. Based on extensive research and fact based data, is written in a conversational dialogue that is both informative and educational. Thom's insights and suggestions are for all ages as he presents this call to action regarding the number one cause of emergency room visits. John Campi - Senior Vice President - The Home Depot I thoroughly enjoyed reading Stop the Slip. It was informative, thoughtful and ominous. This is the first book I've seen that helps the general public avoid fall injuries. Most safety books target employers and employees, but over 90% of fall injuries happen outside of the work environment. Gary Levenstein - Senior Partner - Nixon Peabody LLP
