Source authors: David Fox (HSL)

About this research

Evaluates HSE workshops aimed at NHS safety staff and whether attendees translated the material into slip and trip prevention measures.

How the research was conducted

The programme delivered healthcare-specific workshops across 23 locations in the UK. HSL collected survey and case-study evidence on measures taken, perceived usefulness and barriers to implementation.

Main findings and significance

The report considers how better technical understanding can be translated into hospital action, including organisational constraints and the role of professional support and guidance.

Interpretation and limitations

Relevant to employer and PPE-buyer engagement, but not a randomised test of training effectiveness.
