Slips, Trips and Falls Training Online Certified Slip, Trip and Fall Prevention Training Ireland

Slips, trips and falls are the most common workplace hazard of all, responsible for around one in three non fatal workplace injuries reported to the HSA every year. They happen in offices and shops just as easily as on building sites, and almost every one of them traces back to a spillage nobody cleaned, a walkway nobody cleared or a floor nobody maintained. Every one of them is preventable with the right knowledge. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. This is the training for everyone who walks through a workplace, from warehouse crews, retail teams and kitchen staff to office workers, cleaners, healthcare workers and facilities teams. Across five modules you cover what slips, trips and falls are and who is at risk, the legal duties of employers and employees and the reporting of incidents to the HSA, the six key areas of the slip potential model, the three elements of the trip potential triangle, and the prevention of falls on the same level and falls from height, including safe ladder and stepladder use. Real workplace examples and short interactive checks keep it practical from the first slide to the final exam.

2005 Act is the short answer. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 requires every employer to provide the information, instruction, training and supervision needed to work safely, and to maintain a written Safety Statement based on hazard identification and risk assessment. Slips, trips and falls are the most common hazard that assessment must control. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.

All levels of employees in every type of business: offices, shops, warehouses, construction sites, kitchens, hotels, healthcare settings, cleaning and facilities teams, and anyone who moves around a workplace. It equally suits employers, managers and supervisors who own the workplace risk assessments, and because it is designed as an introduction to slip, trip and fall prevention, no prerequisites are needed.

The Slips, Trips and Falls Course is €35.00 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, and any 5 different courses cost just €100 flat (except our premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses, which keep their own price), with one invoice and one account for all your records.

Yes, the whole course is online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. There is no classroom day and no fixed start time: register, log in and begin the Slips, Trips and Falls Course whenever it suits you, at home or on a break at work. Progress saves automatically as you go.

About 2 hours, and you do not have to do it in one sitting. Progress saves as you go, so you can stop after a lesson and pick it back up on another device. Your certificate is ready to download the moment you pass.

You download your Slips, Trips and Falls Course certificate as a PDF the moment you pass the exam, day or night. It shows your name, the course, the date and a verification link, so an employer or inspector can confirm it in seconds. A copy stays in your account whenever you need to print it again.

Renewal is recommended every three years, or sooner if your equipment, tasks or working conditions change. We track the date for you and send a reminder before it lapses, so no certificate in your team expires without anyone noticing. The refresher is the same short online course, so staying compliant never costs a working day.

Nothing bad. You can retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and you can revisit any lesson before trying again. Most learners pass first time, because the questions test exactly what the course just taught.

This course is assessed by examination rather than by a practical, because the competence it builds is judgement rather than technique. You get unlimited attempts at the exam, at no extra cost.

Yes, and the platform is built for it. One company account covers every employee, shows you at a glance who has finished and who has not, stores every certificate in one place and gives you a single invoice for the lot.

They do. We are an official accredited provider and the certificate carries a verification link an inspector can check in seconds. It is accepted by employers in Ireland, the UK and across the EU, and behind it stand our accreditations: HSA Compliant, QQI Assessed, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.

Yes, in substance. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 requires every Irish employer to provide the information, instruction, training and supervision needed to work safely, and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 set specific requirements for floors, traffic routes, housekeeping and work at height, the exact areas where slips, trips and falls happen. With around one in three non fatal workplace injuries reported to the HSA involving a slip, trip or fall, inspectors expect to see this training in every workplace, and this course is the accepted proof of it, aligned with the Irish framework the HSA enforces.

The slip potential model breaks slip risk into six key areas: contamination, cleaning, people (human factors), flooring, environment and footwear. Any one of them can cause a slip on its own, and the risk climbs sharply when several combine, a wet floor plus poor lighting plus smooth soles, for example. The course walks through every area with real workplace examples and the preventative action that works: dealing with spillages immediately, cleaning methods that do not create new hazards, suitable flooring and footwear, and managing rushing and distraction.

The trip potential triangle groups trip risk into three elements that must all be right: walkways (clear, wide enough and well lit routes), housekeeping (tidy work areas with no trailing cables or obstructions) and design and maintenance (level floors, marked steps, secure mats and prompt repairs). The course shows how to spot weaknesses in each element and the practical fixes that keep colleagues, customers and visitors on their feet.

The final exam has 15 multiple choice questions, each with three possible answers, drawn from the five modules of the course. You need at least 12 correct answers out of 15, which is a 75 percent pass mark. There is no time limit, so you can think every question through calmly. If you do not pass first time, you can review any module and retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and your slips, trips and falls certificate downloads the moment you pass.

Yes. The final module covers falls on the same level and falls from height, defined as a fall from one level to a lower level, together with safe ladder and stepladder use: pre use checks for damage and defects, carrying out only light, short duration work, and positioning yourself facing the rungs or steps at all times. For teams whose main equipment is a ladder or stepladder, our dedicated Ladder Safety Training Course goes deeper, and many businesses take both.

The course teaches the two habits that prevent most incidents. First, deal with spillages immediately: clean them up as soon as possible, and where that is not practical, mark the area with warning signs and keep people away until it is dry. Second, report near misses, the moments where you stumble or slip but catch yourself, in line with your workplace procedures. Near misses are free warnings: recording them lets hazards be fixed before someone gets hurt, and Irish law requires certain accidents to be reported to the HSA.

The course is 100 percent online, so learners in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and every other county study the same accredited material and earn the same recognised certificate, with no travel and no classroom days.

Discounts apply automatically at checkout: 15 percent off any 3 different courses, 10 percent off 10 or more courses, 20 percent off 50 or more, and any 5 different courses for a flat 100 euro (excludes the premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses). Many businesses pair Slips, Trips and Falls for everyone with Manual Handling or Working at Heights for the wider team.
