Anti Slip Treatments
Posted in Anti Slip
Direct Cleaning Anti slip Treatments can solve your slip problems on many types of flooring for commercial and domestic properties.
The HSE states "Floors need to have enough grip for pedestrians to walk safely, but what does this mean? Grip is measured as ‘Coefficient of Friction’. For safe pedestrian walking on the level this should be 0.36 or higher." It also says “it’s no good testing a clean and dry floor then expecting it to be slip resistant in the wet."
The workplace regulation 1992 requires floor surfaces should not expose a safety risk to any person.
The cost of slips and falls to employers is estimated to be £512 million per year in lost production and other costs.
Using Hazard signs let people know there is a slip problem but in most cases does not stop a person from having to walk through the slip hazard. The use of mats also have the same problem they do help prevent a slip but as soon as a person leaves the mat there feet may well still be wet from the water absorbed by the mat, Causing a slip hazard as soon as their feet touch the hard floor. By law you have to raise the coefficient of friction level of the flooring to what is considered as low risk by the HSE.
Direct Cleaning Anti Slip Treatments can increase the Coefficient of Friction on a variety of flooring including concrete, marble, terrazzo, slate, granite, porcelain, stone, slate, karndean, vinyl, lino and many more. There is no significant change in the appearance of the flooring after treatment.
Receptions, hospitals, offices, restaurants, leisure centres, gyms, dental practices, vets, nursing homes, supermarkets, schools and colleges are just a few places that can benefit from anti slip treatments.
