by Brianna Crandall — March 28, 2018 — Every year, same-level slips, trips and falls send 5 million people to the emergency room — costing American businesses nearly $11 billion in direct costs, according to the 2017 Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index. New Pig, the leading brand for helping facilities maintain safe, compliant workplace environments has introduced PIG Slips, Trips, and Falls Online Training for Beginner or Intermediate level trainees.
The 26-minute video is broken into short modules lasting 1 to 3 minutes each and features original content presented in easy-to-understand ways — no “regulation-ese,” says the company. State-of-the-art 3D animation demonstrates real-world tactics that apply to everyday workplace applications. The program automatically adapts to play on any computer, projector, tablet or smartphone regardless of connection speed.
Designed to keep workers awake and involved for high retention and on-the-job action, topics covered include the following:
- Differences between slips, trips and falls
- Common causes and preventions
- Tips for walking on slippery surfaces and stairs
- Proper procedures for the use of ladders
- Steps to take to resolve hazards after identification
- First aid for slip, trip and fall injuries
In addition, quizzes engage users as they work toward their certificate of completion — one certificate per user license. Online training is offered with structured pricing for organizations of all sizes, and log-in details are e-mailed within 24 hours of ordering.
