| Abstract |
STEP is an eLearning package developed by the HSE, providing slips and trips guidance through interactive learning. It is an easy way to learn about slips and trips, how they are caused, why preventing them is important and how to tackle them. STEP includes quizzes, videos, animations, case studies and interactive sequences to enhance the learning experience. Completing this package will aid understanding of slips and trips, but to reduce accidents you will also need to take action in your workplace. Who can use it? Anyone: workers, supervisors, managers, safety representatives, small businesses, health and safety professionals, health and safety trainers, architects, designers and so on. This is because it contains three levels of information:
Introductory – 15- 20mins - A short, snappy course, provides key information in an easy to understand, interactive format.
Intermediate – 1 hour - Contains several short lessons in simple English on key topics including footwear, flooring and assessing slip and trip risk. This level does not have to be completed in one session; you can dip in and out. It includes cascade materials suitable for group training sessions.
Advanced – Contains a number of detailed lessons, several of a technical nature e.g. classification of flooring, procurement of footwear, test methods. If fully completed will provide in depth knowledge, alternatively you can dip in and out to learn about specific topics.
