{"product_id":"slips-trips-falls-risk-assessment-tool","title":"Slips, Trips \u0026 Falls Risk Assessment Tool","description":"\u003cp\u003eSlips, trips and falls on the same level are the single most common cause of workplace injury in the UK — close to a third of all reported non-fatal injuries every year. Where they're a risk, the law requires you to assess them and put controls in place. The good news is that the fixes are usually simple and low-cost; the hard part is spotting every hazard before someone gets hurt. This tool does exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalk an area, answer a guided checklist built on the HSE slips-and-trips framework, and the tool flags the hazards, scores the risk, and produces a recorded action plan you can file. It covers the full picture — floor contamination, surface condition, housekeeping and obstacles, cleaning regime, footwear, lighting, stairs and steps, and outdoor and weather hazards — with a specific control action for everything it flags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a self-contained file that runs in any web browser: nothing to install, no account, no subscription, no internet needed once downloaded.

The judgement of what’s adequate remains yours as the employer, and for complex or high-risk environments we’d recommend having your completed assessment reviewed by a competent health and safety professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 12px 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 600; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eWhat hazards does it cover?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px;\"\u003eAll the main causes from the HSE framework: floor contamination (spills, water, grease — the leading slip cause), floor surface and condition, housekeeping and obstacles (trailing wires and clutter — the leading trip cause), cleaning regime, footwear, lighting, stairs and steps, and outdoor or weather hazards such as ice and rainwater. You can mark any category not applicable to the area you’re assessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 12px 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 600; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eCan I assess more than one area?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px;\"\u003eYes. HSE guidance recommends assessing distinct areas separately, and the tool is built to be re-run for each — a warehouse floor, a staircase, a kitchen and a car park are all different assessments. Run it as many times as you need and keep a record for each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 12px 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 600; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eDo I need to install anything or be online?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px;\"\u003eNo. It’s a single self-contained file that runs in any modern web browser.

The checklist and controls follow Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance on slips and trips and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with the HSE or any other body — it’s an independent tool built on published guidance.
