Slips, Trips and Falls Course Overview
If only one employee works in a building and no one else ever enters, then the employee stands a better chance of not slipping or tripping over trailing cables or boxes they’ve left in walkways because they are aware of the hazard.
If you have ten employees who all start trailing cables and cluttering walkways, the risk of an accident is compounded.
Educating employees on not creating and reporting potential risks of slips, trips, and falls is of paramount importance in maintaining a safe working environment. By bringing awareness to the severity of these potential hazards and demonstrating how they can easily be avoided, employees can change their attitudes towards safety and take proactive measures to keep their workplace safer.
Despite our innate ability to walk, over 30% of reported workplace injuries are caused by slips, trips, and falls. Various factors, such as uneven surfaces, wet floors, or cluttered walkways, can cause these accidents. In this training course, we address the most common issues that contribute to slips, trips, and falls and provide practical tips and strategies for minimising the risk of accidents in the workplace.
- Our popular online training course looks at workplace slips, trips, and falls and shows several walk-through scenarios that examine causes and preventative measures.
- We teach people how to spot and assess risks, stress the importance of understanding that a risk left in place is a potential accident waiting to happen, and how to act upon risks they find.
- Focus is put on introducing control measures that will help prevent or minimise the probability of dangerous occurrences being realised.
- Consideration is given to clear routes not obstructed by cables, delivery packages, or other objects.
- Importance is placed on the routine maintenance of floor coverings, steps and artificial lighting.
- We teach participants the difference between an environmental hazard, such as frayed carpet, and a personal hazard, such as running downstairs.
- We remind staff of relevant elements of the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations.
- We teach staff their responsibilities and the benefits achieved if all staff members commit to shared health and safety objectives.
More than 30% of workplace accidents that result in personal injury or fatality are caused by slip, trip, and fall incidents. It's a staggering statistic highlighting the importance of proper training and awareness in the workplace.
As employees, we've all encountered instances where a tile on the floor is damaged, the carpet is frayed, or a light bulb in the stairwell needs replacing. However, how many have taken the initiative to address such issues? It's easy to assume that a frayed piece of carpet near an entrance door is a trivial matter and can be stepped over. But what about the delivery man who doesn’t know about the frayed carpet, is carrying a package, and is focused on finding his way through the door? He may not notice the damaged carpet and trip, resulting in a fall. Training reinforces that being mindful of such issues and taking prompt action to prevent potential accidents and injuries is essential.
Our online slips, trips, and falls course educates employees about the common causes of workplace slips, trips, and falls and provides effective preventative measures. This is emphasised by sharing relevant injury statistics with candidates to help them understand the potential consequences of leaving hazards in place. And that, removing the dangers or making others aware of them is imperative to reduce the likelihood of an accident.
We make participants aware that we've all experienced slipping or tripping on numerous occasions, and while we may be fortunate enough to avoid injury in most cases, some workplace scenarios increase the likelihood of injury.
The training course has been designed to be user-friendly and convenient and split into three modules for easy understanding. At the end of each module, you will be presented with a Q&A multiple choice section, which will test your knowledge and understanding of the material presented in that module. To proceed to the next module, you must score at least 85% in each section.
If you don't pass a module on your first attempt, don't worry! You will be given unlimited access to the course material until you meet the required standard. Once you have completed the course, you will be awarded a training certificate, which principal contractors and local authorities recognise.
