Webinar: Reducing the Risk of Slips in the Workplace

March 2025

Hosted by Watco’s Chris Budd and Christian Harris from Slip Safety Services.

In this insightful 30-minute session, Chris and Christian dive into one of the most common (and preventable) causes of workplace injuries: slips, trips, and falls. Whether you're in facilities management, health & safety, or simply want to build a safer workplace, this webinar is packed with practical tips and expert insights.

Key Takeaways:

• According to the HSE’s latest index, 31% of 604,000+ reported injuries in 2023/24 were slips, trips, or falls on the same level
• Floor surfaces play a major role in slip safety - inspections can reveal risks like contamination, wear and tear, or missed opportunities to boost slip resistance
• A standardised approach makes slip prevention more manageable - use tools like the Watco eBooks and Christian’s CHIMES framework to get started
