Slips, Trips & Falls Risk Assessment Tool

Slips, trips and falls are the most common workplace injury and the most dismissed — right up until one puts someone off work for six weeks. They're also the most preventable, which is exactly why a missed one looks so bad afterwards.

The Slips, Trips & Falls Risk Assessment Tool walks you through the hazards that actually cause them: floor surfaces and contamination, spillages, trailing cables, changes in level, lighting, footwear, housekeeping, and the awkward bits people walk past every day. You assess the area, record the controls, and end up with a defensible document.

Built for UK workplaces — written around UK HSE guidance and the way assessments are expected to be recorded here.

What you get

• A structured assessment covering the real causes — contamination, obstacles, level changes, lighting and footwear
• Prompts for the spots that get ignored — entrances in wet weather, ramps, stairs, back-of-house
• A finished record with controls and actions, ready for the file or an inspector
• Reusable across every area and site you're responsible for

Who it's for

Site, facilities and retail managers, H&S coordinators, and small business owners who need a proper slips-and-trips assessment rather than a tick in a box.
