Slip trip and fall risk assessment

[Eddy]

Hey guys,

our H&S gov has asked for a Slip, trip and fall risk assessment.

Before i go searching t'interweb, does anyone have a template i could steal?

Forgive me but surely this wouldnt be a stand alone RA?

On all of our RA's, Slips trips and falls are a hazard/risk which require controlling. The control measures would differ from one environment to another. for example in a classroom setting/RA you would pay close attention to carpet condition, ensure bags and coats are kept tidy and chairs are tucked in from gangways whereas in a playground RA your focus might be on keeping paths clear from debris, ensuring that surfaces are maintaind and in good condition. In a bethroom or toilet area it would be monitoring and cleaning pubbles and wet floors as and when they arise.

To some extent i agree with you. but it is similar to the working at heights RA. we have a generic one, but for specific tasks, it is included in that assessment. Likewise manual handling.

Having put one together this afternoon, i can see the benefit of it for governance.

happy to share it if required.
