Slips and Trips

• 20 Minutes
• For all staff
• UK

This 20-minute course covers the controls the company has in place to prevent slips and trips at work and what staff should do to support them. It helps them appreciate the risks and consequences involved, identify the measures already implemented, and recognise the conditions that make a slip or trip likely before someone falls.

Slips and trips remain the single most common cause of workplace injury in the UK, and almost every incident is preventable. The hazards are usually temporary: a spill, a trailing cable, a wet entrance in bad weather. Controls only work if people report and remove them rather than walking past. Training all staff turns the workforce into the control that permanent measures cannot replace.
