About this training
A wet entrance, uneven pathway or obstructed corridor can expose different workers to the same hazard throughout a shift. Awareness training examines how slips, trips and falls arise from interacting factors, including surfaces, lighting, housekeeping and work practices, rather than assuming that greater individual attention is the only answer.
Bring examples of pedestrian routes, cleaning arrangements and recurring hazards to your provider discussion. You can request awareness content that considers those circumstances and your reporting processes. The delivering organisation must confirm relevant credentials, availability and whether proposed activities involve photographs, discussion scenarios or a review of selected work areas.

Frequently asked questions
Does this awareness training include falls from height?+
The main focus is everyday slip, trip and fall hazards around workplace access areas. Ask the actual provider to confirm scope, availability and relevant credentials; work at height risks may need separate awareness content or task specific instruction.
Can we use photographs of our workplace hazards?+
You can ask to include photographs of floors, access routes and recurring problems, with appropriate privacy precautions. The actual provider must confirm availability, relevant credentials and whether those materials are suitable for awareness discussion rather than a formal workplace assessment.
Will the session tell us which controls to install?+
Awareness training can introduce control considerations, but choosing controls requires assessment of your workplace and tasks. Confirm relevant credentials, session availability and the limits of any advice with the actual provider, especially if you need a separate site assessment.
