Grip Guard non-slip - NSW Representative appointed on mid north coast
Floor Solutions has been appointed by Grip Guard Non-Slip to provide a
comprehensive range of Grip Guard floor safety solutions to businesses and property
owners on the Mid-North Coast of NSW.
Business owners and property managers have a legal obligation to provide the necessary
non-slip floor treatments to ensure that staff and visitors are safe from the risk of
slip and fall accidents. The consequences of ignoring the relevant regulations are serious.
Reports of slip and fall accidents are regularly covered in the media and highlight
the need for business and property owners to address their floor safety issues. It
is commonplace to see alarming headlines:
'Slip-and-scald incident costs Fast Food Restaurant'
'Supermarket Ordered to Pay Up for Customers Slip/Fall Injuries'
It is essential that floor surfaces are assessed for slip resistance and that necessary
non-slip treatments are carried out to protect all employees and visitors and help
property owners to avoid expensive litigation that can result from slip and fall injuries.
Greg Carr, director of Grip Guard Non-Slip explains:
'Many business or home owners are unaware that their properties represent a serious risk
to employees and/or visitors. It is essential that floor surfaces are periodically tested
to ensure that the slip resistance of the floor surface is adequate to protect all
pedestrians who have access to these areas. A floor safety check is an essential tool
for meeting OH&S obligations.'
Grip Guard Floor Safety representatives provide unique and innovative non-slip treatments
for every floor surface as well as non-slip safety stair nosings and tactile ground surface
indicators (tactiles) for the visually impaired. Grip Guard is also able to provide builders
with obligation free advice and quotes using building plans to ensure legal compliance.
Floor Solutions provide unique and innovative floor safety services and products throughout
Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Kempsey, Coffs Harbour, Camden Haven and Taree and would be pleased
to offer all property owners with obligation free demonstrations and quotes.
Recently, Floor Solutions were asked to provide essential non-slip treatment to entryways
and access walkways at a Coffs Harbour resort. These treatments raised the co-efficient of
friction of the floor surface to reduce the risk of slip and fall injuries at the resort.
All Grip Guard Floor Safety services are provided by fully trained floor safety operators
and are available throughout Australia including Victoria (VIC), New South Wales (NSW),
Queensland (QLD), Tasmania (TAS), South Australia (SA), and the ACT.
