SECTION 1
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.
SECTION 2
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.
SECTION 3
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.
SECTION 4
This training will have ensured a better understanding of why slips, trips and falls happen and shown you what falls prevention involves and how you can do to reduce the likelihood of workplace accidents happening. Here we remind you of your responsibility - see it sort it, if you can’t sort it – make it safe and report it. It’s the surest way of falls prevention and reducing the rate of workplace accidents.

very good informative course
covers all aspects needed.
Very good course
The course was very good, as it makes you aware of the dangers around the workplace that you tend not to think about from one day to another.
Easy to access and follow.
An informative course that will enable me to put the principles into practice not only in the work place environment but in every day life. An awareness of slips, trips and falls allows everyone to take responsibility in preventing accidents.
Not all videos played
Approximately 7 or 8 of the videos did not play
very very basic training
The course is patronising and slow; you feel talked down to and it takes a ridiculous amount of time.
clear, concise and well explained !

Good and to the point
Clear and to the point, bite sized so also easy to follow along and track where you are. Far less painful than other trainings.
