Slips, Trips and Falls Prevention Training in Doha, Qatar

Slips, Trips and Falls Prevention training in Doha, Qatar tackles some of the most frequent causes of workplace injury in offices, kitchens, warehouses, hotels, hospitals and sites. Participants learn how slips happen when grip between shoe and floor is lost, how trips result from obstacles and uneven surfaces, and how falls on the same level differ from falls from height. The course applies the hierarchy of controls to practical fixes that cost little but prevent serious harm.

Learning is built around workplace walk-through exercises, photo hazard hunts and short case studies, helping participants see their own environment with fresh eyes. Topics include spill response, cable management, signage using ISO 7010 symbols, footwear selection, stair safety and safe ladder use with three points of contact. Organizations can run the course in-house, combined with a guided inspection of their premises to produce an immediate action list.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the main causes of slips, trips and falls on the same level and from height.
