Every Review Real and Verified

A Word Between Friends

Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review.

Slips, Trips and Falls Study Notes FAQ, Your Questions Answered

Honest answers about the slips, trips and falls course for learners in Ireland: acceptance locally, online delivery, certification and pricing at Irish Health and Safety.

Everyone at work, because every workplace has floors and stairs. Cleaners, kitchen, retail, healthcare and warehouse staff, and the supervisors who plan cleaning and housekeeping, need it most.

The rules are in Chapter 1 of Part 2 of the General Application Regulations 2007 (the workplace: floors, traffic routes and lighting), read with sections 8 and 19 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. They require floors and routes to be sound, even, free of obstructions and not slippery, to be kept clean and well lit, and the risk to be assessed and controlled.

Because a hazard that cannot be seen cannot be avoided. Stairs, changes of level and outdoor routes need the most attention.

What Sets Us Apart

Why Take Your Slips, Trips and Falls Course with Irish Health and Safety?

See why workers and companies in Ireland, in Dublin, Cork, Galway and further afield, pick Irish Health and Safety for slips, trips and falls training.

Working life in Ireland fits naturally around the slips, trips and falls course at Irish Health and Safety. Certified, compliant people keep Irish workplaces moving, whether that means the cranes above Dublin, the pharma plants of Cork, medtech campuses in Galway, the manufacturing belt around Limerick or the farms, hotels, warehouses and hospitals of every county in between. Rather than surrendering a day to a classroom, learners in Ireland finish the full accredited training online in roughly 1-2 hours, from home or directly from the workplace.

When your certificate lands, local employers recognise it immediately: CPD Certified, RoSPA approved, HSA aligned training from a provider businesses in every county across Ireland already use. Thanks to the unique verification code on each certificate, checks take seconds whether your job sits in Dublin, Cork or Galway.

For companies, the free Employer Dashboard compresses a team rollout into a single afternoon: bulk registration, live progress and every slips, trips and falls certificate on one clean screen, with volume discounts applied automatically at checkout.

People whose calendars never free up inspired this slips, trips and falls training: shift workers, store teams and small crews covering each other's breaks. Lessons stream on any device, each pause remembers your place and there is nothing to install. Crisp visuals, genuine workplace scenarios and quick interactive checks convert the slip potential model and the trip potential triangle into habits that follow you onto every floor.

Everything the HSA expects wherever people walk and work appears in the syllabus: spillages handled the moment they appear, walkways kept clear and lit, flooring and footwear with real grip, housekeeping that survives busy periods and the human factors, rushing, carrying and distraction, brought under control. Examples are drawn straight from Irish workplaces, spanning supermarkets, kitchens, warehouses, offices and building sites.

Whether one certificate for yourself or a rollout across a whole team, the journey from registration to certificate never snags.

The ticket price is only the start of what a classroom slips, trips and falls course costs: add a lost work day per person, travel and cover for whoever holds the fort. Going online sweeps those away. Staff certify from home or between shifts and begin the second you enrol them.

Completions appear for managers in real time, so a full training record reaches an inspector within seconds. Layer the automatic volume discounts on top and no accredited slips, trips and falls training in Ireland costs less.

The pricing stays honest too: a single figure buys the whole course, unlimited retakes and the instant slips, trips and falls certificate. Nothing extra ever appears at checkout.

No timetables, no waiting lists, no hurry. This self paced slips, trips and falls course lets you travel at any speed, pausing on one device and resuming on another, before a shift, after hours or on the bus home.

A clear tracker shows exactly how much training is left and how near the certificate sits. A single sitting carries plenty of learners through; others prefer a few quiet evenings. Either path ends at the same certificate.

Hand it to a team and it folds around the rota without costing a minute of productivity, one of the biggest reasons Irish companies keep choosing Irish Health and Safety.

No queues, no certificates arriving by post weeks later. The digital slips, trips and falls certificate generates the moment you pass, matched to Irish legislation and recognised throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe.

Stored permanently in your account, it can be downloaded again for HSA inspections, job applications, tenders and insurance renewals, while its unique verification code lets any inspector confirm it on the spot.

On a CV, a slips, trips and falls certificate signals the everyday hazard awareness employers in retail, hospitality, warehousing, healthcare, construction and facilities actively seek out.

Licensed, Chartered (CMIOSH) consultants wrote each module, professionals who know precisely what Irish inspectors examine when they arrive.

The difference is visible everywhere: the slip potential model demonstrated on real floors, housekeeping routines that catch the hazards behind most claims, walkway and flooring standards explained in everyday words and reporting procedures that survive any audit. Each lesson stays practical rather than theoretical.

Reviews against current Irish legislation and the HSA guidance on slips, trips and falls happen continually, so the course never slips out of date.

A working week that never quite stops deserves a platform that never closes. Begin the slips, trips and falls training after work, carry on before a shift and wrap up on a day off, in whatever pattern your week allows.

Devices stay in sync automatically, so moving from phone to laptop mid module costs nothing. Shift workers, store teams, kitchen staff and warehouse crews receive precisely the same premium experience.

Teams can also revisit the housekeeping module ahead of an audit or the falls module before an unusual job, making the slips, trips and falls course a living reference rather than a single event.

Across Ireland, the UK and Europe, more than 683,000 learners have certified with Irish Health and Safety, backed by a 97% pass rate and a 4.9 star average built from verified Google reviews beyond our power to edit or hide.

Dublin to Cork, Galway to Limerick, Waterford to Belfast: our slip, trip and fall prevention training keeps workplaces across the island compliant and their people protected.

Companies return for a simple reason: it works. Tidy records, instant certificates and a support team that actually replies.

Truthfully, any business with a floor. Year after year, slips, trips and falls lead the HSA statistics for non fatal workplace injuries, roughly one report in three, and they strike offices and shops just as easily as building sites. Training people against precisely these risks is what the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 requires of employers.

Day to day, our learners are shop and hospitality staff, office workers, warehouse crews, kitchen teams, healthcare workers, cleaners, builders and facilities teams, together with the owners and managers accountable for their safety.

Wherever people walk through your premises, this training applies, and our Irish support team can help you roll it out across every location.

Know the Basics

Slips, Trips and Falls Study Notes

Ready material for the workplace: a checklist, a short talk, the wording of a poster, study notes and practice questions.

Key points to remember

  • Meaning: Slips, trips and falls are the accidents in which a person loses their footing: a slip on a wet or smooth floor, a trip over an obstacle or an uneven surface, and the fall that follows, on the level or on steps.
  • Law: Chapter 1 of Part 2 of the General Application Regulations 2007 (the workplace: floors, traffic routes and lighting), read with sections 8 and 19 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005.
  • Hazards: Wet or contaminated floors, obstructions, uneven or damaged surfaces, poor lighting, unsuitable footwear and rushing and distraction.
  • Controls: Stop contamination at source, clean in the right way at the right time, keep routes clear, maintain floors, stairs and lighting and provide suitable footwear.
  • Rules: Clean up spills at once; keep walkways clear; report damaged floors and poor lighting; wear suitable footwear; take your time.

Practice questions with answers

  • What causes most slips at work? A floor that is wet or contaminated, with water, oil, food or dust, often combined with unsuitable footwear.
  • What do you do when you find a spill? Clean it up at once if you can do so safely. If not, guard it or mark it and report it straight away.
  • How common are slips, trips and falls in Ireland? In 2024 slipping and falling was the trigger for 24 per cent of the non fatal workplace injuries reported to the HSA.
  • Why does lighting matter? Because a hazard that cannot be seen cannot be avoided. Stairs, changes of level and outdoor routes need the most attention.
  • Is safety footwear the main control? No. It is the last one. The floor surface, the cleaning routine and good housekeeping come first.

Slip and trip hazards

  • Slip hazards: water, oil, grease, food and cleaning products on the floor, dust and powders, wet leaves, ice and snow, smooth or polished surfaces, loose mats, unsuitable footwear.
  • Trip hazards: trailing cables and hoses, boxes and bags in walkways, uneven or damaged flooring, curled mat edges, changes of level that are hard to see, open drawers, low obstacles.
  • Things that make both worse: poor lighting, glare, carrying a load that blocks the view, rushing, distraction by a phone, tiredness.

Clean up spills at once

a spill left for later is a slip waiting to happen.

Keep walkways clear

if it does not belong on the floor, move it.

Report damaged floors and poor lighting

nobody can fix what nobody reports.

The accredited Slips, Trips and Falls Course covers the causes, the risk assessment and the practical prevention of slips, trips and falls in about an hour online, with a CPD certified certificate the moment you pass. A checklist or a quiz shows what you know; the official certificate proves it to an employer. Enrol today, and remember that a reduced price on the course card is a limited time offer.
