Covered in this course

The Slips, Trips and Falls Prevention Training course is broken down into 4 sections.

1) Your Responsibilities

We are all responsible for ensuring our workplaces are as free from hazards as possible. In this section we look at how to prevent workplace accidents by taking responsibility, dealing with hazards, making them safe and knowing who to report dangers to.

2) How to Avoid Slips and Trips

Here we look at what slips and trips are and look at how to avoid such workplace accidents. We explain through video, graphics and images many of the potential dangers that may make a slip, a trip or a fall more likely to happen - including those to do with the environment, human factors and housekeeping.

3) How to Avoid Falls

Nearly a third of all major fall injuries involve ladders. In this section we highlight the importance of always using the correct equipment and choosing the least dangerous option if you do need to increase your height. Step-by-step guides show you how to site and use step-ladders and ladders properly in order to avoid workplace accidents.

Very informative

Found the question on what % falls etc ended up as injuries difficult as it wasn't in the text !! Otherwise good information throughout.

4/5
It was fine before.

Changing the Videos to being unskippable where there is no pertinent information outside of the transcript, and disabling the ability to move through the timeline to rewatch an important visual part has reduced the user experience of the course.
