Slips, Trips and Falls Certification

Slips, trips and falls in the workplace are among the biggest causes of increased employee absenteeism, rising insurance costs and lowered productivity across multiple industries. These incidents create serious health and safety concerns and can also reduce morale and damage an organisation’s reputation. By implementing stringent risk assessment procedures, regular inspections, clear policies and mandatory training, you can significantly reduce the risk of accidents.

Responsible employers understand that they have both a legal and moral duty to promote employee health and wellbeing by creating a safe, supportive and properly maintained work environment for everyone.

This course covers:

• The importance of maintaining a safe workplace environment for employees and visitors, and understanding how a risky environment increases the likelihood of slips, trips and falls
• Common hazards found in workplace environments, including trailing cables, contaminated and uneven floor surfaces, poor lighting, unguarded stairs, clutter and improper cleaning methods
• The selection of appropriate footwear, including outer sole design, materials, tread and cleat pattern, and tread depth
• Preventative techniques to eliminate risks, including risk assessments, training cleaning staff in proper techniques, and educating employees to report spills immediately
• Other control measures, including employee and cleaning staff training, adequate lighting, ramps and railings along stairs, proper mopping and spill clean-up techniques, and unclogging drains
