Slips, Trips and Falls Level 2 (VTQ)

The Slips, Trips and Falls Level 2 (VTQ) course provides practical health and safety awareness training to help reduce one of the most common causes of workplace accidents.

Designed for use in any work environment - from offices and shops to warehouses and care settings - this course helps employees and employers understand how to identify, assess, and reduce hazards that may cause slips, trips, or falls.

You’ll learn how to recognise high-risk areas, improve housekeeping practices, ensure safe flooring and lighting conditions, and report or address common issues before they lead to injury. The course highlights simple but effective measures that can prevent avoidable accidents and promote a safer working culture.

This course, developed by ProTrainings Europe, supports the mission of BackCare, a charity dedicated to reducing back pain through education and guidance. It promotes safer movement and highlights ways to reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls in the workplace.

The Slips, Trips and Falls Level 2 (VTQ) course is suitable for anyone working in environments where people move through shared spaces or operate on varying surfaces. This includes almost every workplace—making it one of the most universally relevant health and safety training programmes.

Most people take this training as a requirement for their job or for personal development. Whether you work in a factory, shop, office, school, hospital, or care setting, understanding how to reduce everyday hazards helps protect yourself, your colleagues, and the public.

Whether it’s a professional requirement or personal qualification, this course allows you to train at your own pace, in your own time.

How It Works:

1. We sell access keycodes to ProTrainings online courses up to 25% below the RRP. Order the number of access keycodes you need for each course like any other product from SafetySigns4Less, checking out and completing your order as you normally would. You will need to order one keycode per course, per person. Keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.

2. When you have completed your order, we will email you with:

• A link to the training portal
• Your keycode(s) for the courses ordered
• A PDF of what to do next

3. If necessary, you can then distribute keycode(s) to other learners as required, or use the keycode(s) yourself if the training is for you. Remember, keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.

4. Learners can then sign up using the link to the training portal, www.protrainings.uk/signup/safetysigns4less. Each learner needs their own personal account so certificates and training records are correct. Redeem keycodes by entering a keycode in the ‘Key or Referral Code’ box as part of the sign up form. This will then make the relevant course for that keycode appear on the training dashboard when first logging in.

5. If you already have a login or have multiple courses you wish to appear in your training dashboard, you can redeem more keycodes easily by clicking the ‘Redeem Keycode’ link when logged in. Adding a new keycode in here will then add the relevant course to your training dashboard.

6. Once you have signed up on the ProTrainings portal, all of the administration, including saving progress, training records, issuing certificates and access to the material, is stored within your training login. This is on the ProTrainings system and is separate to the SafetySigns4Less website. The portal is simple and intuitive to use. Technical queries or questions regarding the training or content are handled by ProTrainings – call 01206 807587 or email support@protrainings.uk

7. All learners have ongoing access to training materials after completion of the course for several months, with the option of weekly training emails delivered straight to your inbox to keep your knowledge up to date and demonstrate ongoing learning.
