Grip Guard non slip - floor safety initiatives

Grip Guard non-slip provides a comprehensive range of Grip Guard floor safety solutions to residences and businesses throughout Australia. Property owners and managers have a legal obligation to provide the necessary non-slip floor treatments to ensure that visitors or employees 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 any necessary non-slip treatments are carried out to protect employees and visitors and help property owners avoid the 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 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 to ensure legal compliance on building projects.

All Grip Guard Floor Safety services are provided by fully trained floor safety operators and are available throughout Australia including Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia, and the ACT.
