Yes, our Slips, Trips, and Falls course can act as evidence of industry-related training for accreditation applications, such as CHAS. It covers the requirements of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, which will help you understand how to fulfil the legal duties they set out.

This evidence only forms one part of your overall application process. It is up to you to prove you are fulfilling your legal duties and to supply sufficient evidence for everything the accrediting body requires in order for your application to be successful.
