Riverside Grilles & Local Breweries: Condensation and beverage spills are constant. If your floor looks like a "skating rink" when wet, your 3-5% margins are at risk.

While it seems counterintuitive from a slip-resistance perspective, hospitals traditionally utilize tile and polished surfaces primarily for infection control, durability, and psychological perception.

In a healthcare setting, the ability to maintain a sterile, monolithic environment often takes precedence over maximum friction,

Safety First Can Make Your Surfaces As Safe When Wet as When They Are Dry!

Safety First can Show Your Hospital how to Reduce Flooring caused Slip & Falls by up to 95%!

This Requires about a 15 Minute Demonstration!



The Internal Risk Reality:

Staff at High Risk:
Hospital workers face an incidence rate of lost-workday injuries from slips and falls that is 90% greater than the average for all other private industries.
Second Leading Cause of Death:

Within hospital settings specifically, unintentional falls are the second leading cause of accidental death.

Costly Misalignment:
While hospitals focus on patient-specific fall risks (like medication or muscle weakness), they often overlook environmental factors like flooring materials, which contribute to over 2 million fall injuries each year.

Increasing the Coefficient of Friction (COF)
on existing floors is a primary driver for reducing workplace accidents and associated liability costs.

Contaminant Impact:
Research, including studies on resilient flooring, has found that fluid contaminants (such as water, oil, or cleaning solutions) typically reduce COF by approximately 70% compared to dry conditions.

This highlights the high ROI of anti-slip treatments that maintain high COF even when wet!

Safety First Can Increase The Coefficient of Friction on Your EXISTING FLOORING By up to 500%!

This Will make Your Existing Flooring as Safe Wet as when it is DRY!

“Perceived "Value":

Some workers believe employers view safety measures as adding overhead and time (e.g., waiting for floors to dry or performing deep traction cleaning) without adding direct value to the product or service.

Psychological Impact on the Workforce

• Hesitation and Stress: When floors are consistently slick, employees report being constantly distracted by the fear of falling, which leads to mental fatigue and resentment toward an environment they perceive as uncaring.

• Normalization of Risk:

In some workplaces, employees may "accept" slippery floors as just a part of the job, leading to a culture where unsafe conditions are ignored until a severe injury occurs.

Did You Know?
95% of Slip and Fall Accidents Could be Eliminated with a GREAT R.O.I. ?
REAPING THE BENEFITS

OSHA estimates business owners can save $4 to $6 for every $1 invested in a safety program as illnesses, injuries and fatalities decline.
While worker injuries can be costly, investing in a culture of workplace safety can improve the bottom line

Did You Know?
Businesses prioritize non-slip safety primarily to mitigate substantial financial risks and ensure operational continuity.
Slips, trips, and falls are the leading cause of "severe claims" costing $250,000 or more and account for roughly 30% of all work-related injuries.

Top Reasons for Investing in Non-Slip Safety:
• Substantial Cost Savings (ROI): Every $1 invested in workplace safety can yield a return of $4 to $6 in reduced costs. Direct costs for a single fall-related injury average $48,575, while litigation for such claims can cost up to four times that amount.

• Regulatory Compliance: Investing in non-slip solutions ensures compliance with OSHA (29 CFR
1910.22(a)) and ADA standards. Failure to maintain hazard-free surfaces can result in OSHA fines of $15,625 per offense, reaching up to $156,259 for willful or repeat violations.

• Reduced Insurance Premiums: Insurance companies often lower rates or provide discounts for businesses that proactively enhance safety, as it reduces their potential liability.

• Operational Productivity:
Safety measuresreduce
"lost work days," which totaled 70 million days across U.S. industries in 2023. Employees who feel secure are more focused, engaged, and productive.

Falls can cause other serious injuries such as:
Traumatic brain injury and other head injuries
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Bone fractures
Sprained and strained muscles
Soft tissue injuries
Joint dislocations
