Description

Slips, trips and falls are a common cause of accidents and injury in the workplace. They affect everyone. It doesn’t matter which industry you work in or whether your work is indoors or outdoors. Slips, trips and fall injuries can be so serious some people never fully recover. It is important therefore, that you learn to recognise and control slip, trip and fall hazards.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires that employers ensure the health and safety of all employees and anyone affected by their work, so far as is reasonably practicable. This means balancing the level of risk against the measures needed to control the risk in terms of money, time or trouble. This includes taking steps to control slip and trip risks.

They cost employers over £512m a year in lost production and other costs and account for over half of all reported injuries to members of the public.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
