What is Slip-Resistant Flooring?
Slip-resistant flooring is flooring designed with material properties to help reduce slipperiness and increase traction. Extremely critical to protecting employees, customers, and visitors in both industrial and commercial facilities, non-slip flooring comes in a variety of finishes and textures specifically designed to reduce slippage on the flooring surface.
Benefits of Slip-Resistant Flooring
Slip-resistant flooring protects against dangerous conditions in your facility where liquids or other materials may come in contact with the floor causing people to slip. Textured, non-slip flooring reduce the risk of these events, keeping your facility safe from potential injury or accidents.
Benefit highlights include:
- Preventing slip-and-fall accidents which cause employees or visitors physical and/or emotional trauma
- Preventing financial loss (e.g. liability payouts, legal fees, an increase to insurance premiums, increased administrative costs) related to the medical expenses of an injured person or lost work time of an employee
