Slips, Trips and Falls Training to Protect Your Workforce

In the financial year 2015/16 there were 119,000 reported incidents involving a slip, trip, or fall at work – in fact, slipping and tripping is the most common (not to mention most preventable) cause of all workplace injury in the UK! Whilst just 2% of these resulted in fatalities, that is not to say that slips and trips shouldn't be taken seriously in the workplace, or that they cannot cause painful, and even permanent, damage to your workforce and organisation.

It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that staff members are provided with a safe, and as risk-free as possible, environment to work in, and to undertake regular risk assessments and offer training to this effect. Employees that do not offer this protection face legal action, not to mention the damage a serious slip, trip or fall could cause to the organisation's morale and reputation at large.
