Holding the Handrail (Online Course with Assessment)

You might think this course could be over in three words.

“Hold the handrail”. Okay. Got it. Next?
Hold your horses. There’s more to it than that. Stuff you mightn’t expect. Be safe. Find out what else there is.

This particular course covers the importance of holding the handrail on stairs and walkways while at work. Not that it’s not a good idea in other environments as well. So once the habit kicks in, it’ll keep you safe elsewhere too.

Now, this might sound a bit patronising, and possibly obvious, but those are the exact reasons safety protocols like this get ignored.

What this course does is provide a bit of context and present the serious consequences of failing to adhere to safety.

Who is it for?

• Anyone working in an environment where there are stairs or raised walkways with fall risks

• Anyone who fancies knowing a little bit more about safety, for whatever reason



Course format

The trick with seemingly obvious courses is to try and empathise with whoever is taking them.
“What would make me want to spend time on something we think we already know about?”
For us, it’s fun, engaging content, that doesn’t condescend. That hopefully subverts our expectations by actually showing us something new.
So that’s what we’ve done.
The course uses animated explainer videos to present the information, and interactive slides and quiz questions to help it stick.
We enjoyed making it. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy taking it.
