EH&S Environmental Health & Safety Introduction15 minCompliance tier
Slips, Trips, and Falls
Prevent common workplace injuries from slips, trips, and falls
What you'll be able to do
•Spot the everyday conditions that cause slips, trips, and falls, such as wet floors, trailing cables, cluttered walkways, and changes in floor level
•Respond correctly to a spill or hazard you come across, from marking the area to reporting it so it gets cleaned up
•Choose footwear and walking techniques that keep you stable on slick, uneven, or elevated surfaces
•Keep your own work area and shared walkways clear so hazards do not accumulate over a shift
Who it's for
Any employee who moves around a facility, and especially frontline workers in warehouses, kitchens, retail floors, and production areas where footing changes constantly. It is also a fast refresher for supervisors who need to model and enforce housekeeping habits.
What changes on the job
•Fewer same-level fall incidents and near-misses reported from your work area
•Faster cleanup and reporting of spills and obstructions instead of walking past them
•Walkways and aisles that stay clear because employees notice and fix hazards on their own

How long does this course take and do I need any background to start?
It is a single focused lesson of about 15 minutes with no prerequisites. It is written for a general workforce, so a new hire on their first day can complete it as easily as a veteran employee.
Does this cover falls from height, like ladders and scaffolds?
No. This course concentrates on same-level slips, trips, and falls, which are the most common type. Fall protection for elevated work is covered in a separate EH&S course dedicated to that topic.
How does this fit into a broader safety plan?
It sits in the EH&S compliance track and works well as part of new-hire onboarding or an annual safety refresher. Members can reinforce it with a live workshop and use AI coaching to talk through hazards specific to their own site.
