No worries!![]() Thousands of Australians suffer personal injury after slipping on wet floors in their homes, in the workplace and in public areas. Many floors, when wet, become dangerously slippery leaving pedestrians at risk. Grip Guard non-slip floor safety treatment dramatically increases the slip resistance of wet floors. The unique treatment does not alter the appearance of the floor and can be walked on immediately after treatment. Normal practice is to display a 'slippery when wet' warning sign so that pedestrians can adjust their gait to allow for the slippery surface. While this may prevent some slip and fall incidents, this cannot be considered to be adequate duty of care. In fact, it is admission of a problem that has not be adequately addressed. Property owners are required by law to ensure that pedestrian surfaces are safe - even when they are wet. If a floor surface does not have the required slip resistance, then the floor needs to be either replaced (at great cost) or can be treated with a non-slip application that will increase the slip resistance to a safe level when wet. Grip Guard operators are available to provide site assessments to help property owners address any areas of concern at their premises. If any 'problem areas' are identified, advice regarding the best non-slip floor safety treatment for that particular area can be provided based on the type of floor surface, how the area is used, and the budget available. Grip Guard operators are available throughout Australia including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin, Perth, Fremantle, Newcastle and selected regional areas as well as New Zealand. |
