FAQ

Common questions

Can I run slips, trips & falls (walking-working surfaces) training online?

The course itself is self-paced and online, and the live deck lets you add a live session. Whether online delivery meets your local rules depends on the law that applies to you, so check 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D or ask your own counsel.

How often is this training needed?

At hire + when hazards/equipment change or retraining is needed (1910.30(c)); annual refresher best practice.

Who needs this training?

All employees; examples drawn from retail floors, warehouses, commercial kitchens, hospitals and parking lots.

What records should I keep?

Record completion in your own LMS or record system, so you can show who finished the course and when. Check the retention period that applies to you in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D.

Can I edit the content?

Yes, everything. Change the wording, swap scenarios for ones from your workplace, add your logo, or remove parts that don't apply. Keep anything your own law requires you to cover.
