Why Slips, Trips & Falls Prevention Training Is Critical for UK Workplaces

Slips, trips, and falls represent one of the leading causes of workplace injuries, resulting in significant human suffering, lost productivity, compensation claims, and legal liabilities for employers who fail to implement adequate prevention measures.
