With the current bad weather we are having in the Uk, there are bound to be plenty of wet floors about. Just sticking a wet floor sign up is not enough HSE say “Warning people that a floor is wet – and therefore dangerously slippery – have a limited effect.”
they also say “Many slip accidents happen at building entrances as people entering the building walk in rainwater.”

Safe Grip is ideal in situations were this might happen for example shop entrances and reception areas of office buildings.

The Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 covers the duty of care owed to lawful visitors to private property and states:

“The common duty of care is a duty to take such care as in all the circumstances of the case is reasonable to see that the visitor will be reasonably safe in using the premises for the purpose for which he is invited or permitted by the occupier to be there …”

In other words, the occupier must assess whether it is reasonable to foresee that a visitor would become injured due to the occupier’s negligence, and remove or minimise such risks.

This makes interesting reading, well not really but you now what I mean

• An estimated 603 000 workers had an accident at work in 2010/11 – 200 000 of these injuries led to over 3 days absence from work and 150 000 to absence over 7 days.
• Slips, trips and falls made up more than half of all reported major injuries and almost a third of over-3-day injuries.

Another festival of note during the summer was the lovely Beautiful Days, had a great time here highlight of the festival Carter USM

but as I said summer holiday time is nearly over, you can tell as the sun is shinning today , and we are back in Anti Slip Towers full time so get those orders in.

Using the Pedulum test

(Please note this is just an an example not the actual test)

The test were undertaken in accordance with BS:7976-2 (2002) and “The UK Slip Resistance Group Guilines (Issue 3, 2005) where appropriate

The Material tested was a White Ceramic Tile Treated with Safe Grip Anti Slip Treatment

The results showed that there is a Low slip Potential in both wet and dry conditions, to sum this up in more understandable terms it means that for every 1 million people to walk on the wet tile 1 will slip. Compared to a High Slip Potential Risk where 1 in every 2 people will slip

Insurance is not enough

Slips don’t happen every day, but when they do, the cost to your business can be high. Uninsured costs could include:

• lost time – recovering from slip injury
• sick pay
• overtime working and temporary labour
• production delays
• insurance investigation time
• the person who slipped may claim compensation
• fines
• loss of contracts
• legal costs
• loss of business reputation
