Slip & Fall Prevention is a comprehensive course designed for safety professionals, facility managers, and employees aiming to mitigate the risks associated with slips and falls in the workplace. This course delves into the causes, prevention strategies, and best practices to minimize slip and fall incidents, which are a leading cause of workplace injuries.
Participants will explore:
- Understanding Slip and Fall Dynamics: In-depth analysis of the factors contributing to slip and fall incidents, including floor conditions, footwear, and environmental factors.
- Footwear Selection: Guidelines on selecting appropriate slip-resistant footwear, understanding outsole materials, hardness, and pattern shapes to enhance grip and stability.
- Flooring and Surface Treatments: Examination of different floor materials and treatments that improve slip resistance, and how to maintain these surfaces to ensure continued safety.
- Human Factors and Ergonomics: Insights into human gait, movement, and how ergonomic interventions can reduce the risk of falls.
- Regulatory Standards and Compliance: Overview of industry standards and regulations related to slip and fall prevention, ensuring participants can implement compliant safety measures.
Key highlights:
- Learn about the Coefficient of Friction (CoF) and its importance in slip resistance.
- Understand the role of environmental conditions such as wet, oily, or icy surfaces.
- Gain practical knowledge on measuring slip resistance and conducting risk assessments.
- Explore case studies demonstrating successful slip and fall prevention strategies in various industries.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to identify potential slip and fall hazards, select appropriate interventions, and implement effective prevention programs. This course combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications to ensure a safer workplace environment.
