To Order Slip Resistant Products
Slip and falls are the most common cause of major injuries at work. The costs to the industry is in the millions.
Some of the recommendations of the National Floor Safety Institute are the following:
Ensure that spills are reported and cleaned up immediately.
Use no-skid waxes and surfaces coated with grit.
Use waterproof footgear to decrease slip and fall hazards.
WE DEFINITELY NEED TO RECOMMEND A FOURTH OPTION FOR FLOOR TREATMENTS IN HEALTH CARE FACILITIES.
Our products are not a wax or a surface coating. They are not a coating with grit. What our product does is to raise the slip resistance of the floor with a microscopic etching process that is invisible to the eye. The appearance of the floor will not change. The coefficient of friction will have increased. It will be permanent unless it is coated with a wax or other sealer.
Hospital kitchens and hospital bathrooms are prime areas to consider. The majority of slip and fall accidents will happen in these two areas of the building.
