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

Nothing on the injury statistics looks as harmless as a wet tile or a trailing cable, yet slips, trips and falls sit at the very top of them: roughly one in three non fatal workplace injuries reported to the HSA starts underfoot. They strike in supermarkets and offices as readily as on building sites, and nearly every one traces back to a hazard somebody walked past that morning. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. This course turns hazard spotting into a habit. Five modules walk you through what slips, trips and falls actually are and what they cost, the duties Irish law places on employers and employees together with the reporting route to the HSA, the six areas of the slip potential model with the fixes for each, the three elements of the trip potential triangle, and the prevention of falls on the same level and from height, closing with safe ladder and stepladder habits. Real Irish workplace scenarios and short interactive checks keep the theory glued to practice from the first slide to the exam.

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

Every employee in every kind of business, because these hazards live wherever people walk: shop and hospitality staff, office workers, warehouse and logistics crews, kitchen teams, healthcare workers, cleaners, builders, farmers and facilities teams. Employers, managers and supervisors who own the risk assessments and housekeeping standards get the same value, and because the course is a complete introduction to slip, trip and fall prevention, nobody needs any prior training to start.

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 1-2 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. Group bookings get the volume discount applied automatically in your cart, 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).

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.

Effectively, yes. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 obliges every Irish employer to give staff the information, instruction, training and supervision they need to work safely, and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 set concrete standards for the places where slips, trips and falls happen: floors, traffic routes, lighting, housekeeping and work at height. Because these incidents top the HSA injury statistics, inspectors treat slip, trip and fall controls as a basic expectation in every workplace. This course is aligned with that Irish framework, so one certificate satisfies Irish employers and is recognised in the UK as well.

Contamination, cleaning, people, flooring, environment and footwear. Each one can cause a slip on its own, water or oil on a floor, a mop that spreads the hazard instead of removing it, someone rushing with a load, a polished surface, poor lighting or smooth soles, and the danger multiplies when several combine. The course takes the six areas one at a time, with real workplace situations and the preventative action that works for each, so you can walk your own workplace and see exactly where the next slip is waiting.

The three sided model behind trip prevention: walkways, housekeeping, and design and maintenance. Walkways must be clear, wide enough and properly lit; housekeeping must keep obstructions, packaging and trailing cables out of the routes people actually use; and design and maintenance must deliver level floors, visible steps, secured mats and prompt repairs. All three sides have to hold at the same time, and the course shows you how to check each one and turn weak points into lasting fixes.

You face 15 multiple choice questions at the end, each offering three possible answers, drawn from all five modules. The pass mark is 75 percent, which means 12 correct answers out of 15. There is no timer, so nothing forces you to rush, and unlimited retakes are included in the price: review whichever module you need and try again straight away. The moment you pass, your slips, trips and falls certificate is generated and lands in your account and your inbox.

Yes. The final module tackles falls on the same level and falls from height, defined as a fall from one level to a lower level, and closes with the safe ladder and stepladder habits every workplace needs: checking for damage and defects before use, keeping ladder work light and short in duration, and always facing the rungs or steps while you work. Teams whose day revolves around ladders can go deeper with our dedicated Ladder Safety Training Course, and many businesses run the two together.

The course drills the two responses that prevent most incidents. A spillage gets dealt with immediately: clean it up on the spot where possible, and where it is not, mark the area with warning signs and keep people away until the floor is dry. A near miss, the stumble you catch just in time, gets recorded under your workplace procedures, because every near miss is a free warning about a hazard that will eventually catch someone. The reporting module also explains which accidents Irish law requires employers to report to the HSA and within what timeframes.

Yes. The training is delivered 100 percent online, so a learner in Sligo gets exactly the same accredited course and the same recognised certificate as one in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick or Waterford, without booking a classroom or driving anywhere. Progress synchronises across devices automatically, so you can begin on a desktop at work, continue on your phone on the bus and finish at the kitchen table. Employers and inspectors across Ireland, the UK and the EU accept the certificate.

The free Employer Dashboard is made for exactly that: enrol staff in bulk, assign the Slips, Trips and Falls course to each person, follow live progress and keep every certificate in one screen, ready for the next inspection or audit. Checkout applies the discounts automatically, no codes needed: 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). A popular combination pairs Slips, Trips and Falls for the whole workforce with Manual Handling or Working at Heights for the teams that need them.
