Slips, Trips and Falls Prevention
Falls on the level are treated as clumsiness and cause more lost days than most of the hazards that get all the attention. This course covers removing the causes rather than telling people to look where they are going.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01Treated as clumsiness, costing more days than most hazards
- 02Why people actually slip and trip
- 03Floor surfaces, slip resistance and how it is measured
- 04Contamination: water, oil, dust and controlling it at source
- 05Cleaning regimes that create the hazard they remove
- 06Lighting, changes of level, edges, stairs and handrails
- 07Investigating a fall past the phrase not paying attention

Process Safety Management Fundamentals
This course examines the systematic approach used to prevent major accidents involving hazardous chemicals and processes. Participants study the core elements of a process safety programme, from hazard identification through to mechanical integrity and emergency response. The programme draws on recognised frameworks and real incident case studies to build practical competence.
Incident Investigation and Root Cause Analysis
Effective investigation turns a workplace incident into a lasting improvement rather than a repeated failure. This course teaches structured techniques for gathering evidence, reconstructing events, and identifying the underlying causes of accidents and near misses. Delegates practise interviewing, timeline building, and the development of corrective actions that address system weaknesses.
Behaviour Based Safety Programme Design
Many injuries trace back to at risk behaviours that safety systems alone cannot control. This course shows how to design and run a behaviour based safety observation programme that reinforces safe habits and reduces incidents. Participants learn to define target behaviours, train observers, and use feedback to shift workplace culture.
