• Amazon #1 best-selling safety book
• Amazon #1 best-selling insurance book
• Slip accidents are often treated as minor, unavoidable events.
• In reality, they are a systemic risk problem driven by predictable, measurable factors.
• In Prevent Slip Accidents With Slipology, I set out a practical, evidence-based approach to understanding and reducing slip risk — drawing on real-world case studies, safety science, and claims insight.
• The book introduces two core frameworks:
• The CHIMES framework
• Contamination • Heel • Individual • Maintenance • Environment • Surface
• The Slipology Method
• Assess → Amend → Advocate → Assure → Affirm
• Together, these provide a structured way to move from reactive controls and signage to measurable, defensible slip risk reduction.
• The book has been recognised by senior safety leaders, including:
• “Christian skilfully unpacks why slips happen and proposes a clear roadmap to reduce injuries.”
• Malcolm Staves, Global VP H&S, L’Oréal
• “Essential reading — a copy should be on every practitioner’s shelf.”
• Rosie Russell, Co-President, IIRSM
• The principles in Slipology now underpin how I work with organisations to reduce incidents, defend claims, and control costs.

• Global LinkedIn community for safety and risk professionals
• Safety and risk challenges are rarely solved in isolation.
• I founded the Safety And Risk Success LinkedIn group to create a space where practitioners, leaders, and specialists can share insight, challenge assumptions, and learn from real-world experience — without sales pressure.
• The group now brings together 21,000+ professionals worldwide, spanning safety, risk, insurance, facilities, and leadership roles.
• It acts as a practical extension of my wider work — helping surface emerging trends, test ideas, and improve how organisations think about risk in practice.

• Facilitated peer discussions for safety and risk leaders
• Every fortnight, I host the Safety Roundtable — a facilitated discussion bringing together experienced safety and risk professionals to explore what’s really happening in practice.
• These sessions are designed to:
• Share lived experience, not theory
• Tackle complex, real-world risk challenges
• Explore what works — and what doesn’t — without sales agendas
• Attendees consistently describe the sessions as collaborative, thoughtful, and practical:
• “Every roundtable has been a learning experience — no hard sell, just knowledge sharing.”
• Mike Maxted
• “Connecting, informative, collaborative.”
• Naomi Hollis
• The roundtable reflects my broader belief that better safety outcomes come from better conversations, not just more controls.

• The SAFER Portal enables underwriters to reduce slip claim frequency and strengthen defensibility — at scale, including internationally.
• The challenge:
• ◾️ Slips cost UK insurers £1bn+ annually
• ◾️ A single claim can wipe out years of profit
• ◾️ Premiums are often too low for direct intervention
• ◾️ Traditional advice/training is too fluffy and impractical
• The solution:
• ✔️ Digital risk management at scale
• ✔️ Proven tools to cut accident frequency
• ✔️ Track adherence and generate defensibility evidence
• ✔️ Provide insights to support underwriting and pricing
• The benefits for underwriters:
• ✅ Lower claims frequency
• ✅ Improved claims defensibility
• ✅ Protect premium levels and profitability
• ✅ Strengthen client relationships with innovation

• Conversations on safety, risk, and leadership
• I host the Safety and Risk Success Podcast, where I speak with safety, risk, insurance, and leadership professionals about how proactive risk management delivers better outcomes — for people and organisations.
• Across 250+ episodes, the podcast explores:
• 🎧 Why some safety efforts succeed while others fail
• 🎧 How risk, behaviour, and systems interact
• 🎧 Where safety, insurance, and leadership decisions really collide
• The show is listened to in 50+ countries and has been recognised by HSE People as one of the Top 10 Safety Podcasts.
• The podcast informs and challenges my own thinking, and directly shapes the way I approach real-world risk reduction with clients.

• Reducing slip risk, defending claims, and cutting costs in busy public buildings
• Slips are often treated as a housekeeping issue.
• In reality, they are a major risk, claims, and cost problem.
• At last count, our work is helping prevent £10m+ per year in avoidable claims through an evidence-based, award-winning approach to slip risk management.
• We work with building owners and operators across 5,000+ sites, including shopping centres, hotels, schools, leisure facilities, and transport hubs — and partner closely with insurers, brokers, legal teams, architects, and other stakeholders where slips sit at the intersection of safety, liability, and design.
• Why it matters
• ⚠️ Slips are the #1 cause of accidents, injuries, and claims
• ⚠️ The average claim is ~£10k, but the true organisational cost often exceeds £100k
• ⚠️ Criminal fines have exceeded £700k — and fines aren’t insurable
• ⚠️ Slips account for 33%+ of insurance claims, driving premiums and loss ratios
• How we help
• ✅ Reduce slip accidents by 50%+ across client estates
• ✅ Transform high-risk floors into safe, defensible surfaces, even when wet (in some cases reducing incident likelihood by hundreds of thousands of times)
• ✅ Use Pendulum Slip Test data to improve claims defensibility
• ✅ Recover slip resistance on floors previously thought to be “uncleanable”
• Who this helps most
• ☑️ Building owners & managers — protect people and control costs
• ☑️ Insurers & brokers — reduce losses and strengthen defensibility
• ☑️ Design & construction professionals — specify and hand over safer floors
• If slip risk, claims exposure, or rising premiums are on your radar, this is where evidence makes the difference.
