Slips and trips are often seen as a joke however in reality nothing could be further from

in almost all workplaces, 95% of major slips result in broken bones and they can also be

the initial causes for a range of other accident types such as falls from height. Legal

actions brought as a result of an injury can be extremely damaging to business, especially

where the public are involved. Insurance covers only a small proportion of the costs.

charged at cost. Post Course HSCS Training Services believe in offering a full and complete service that does not stop once we have issued certification. We
