initiating action to prevent slips, trips and fallsThe Health and Safety Executive states that over one third of all major injuries reported to them each year is the result of a trip leading to a fall. Slips and trips are the most common cause of non-fatal major injuries in both the manufacturing and service industries, and account for over half of all reported injuries to members of the public on business premises. These statistics provide powerful proof of the dangers presented by trips and falls and this course will enable you to protect yourself, colleagues and visitors in your workplace.
