Does my business really need Safe Stride?
YES! The coefficient of friction is dramatically reduced when an untreated flat hard mineral walkway surface is subjected to a wetting agent.
A walkway surface treated with SAFE-STRIDE is actually safer in a wet condition than a dry untreated surface.
Recent insurance studies in the food industry, an analysis of over 225,000 Worker Compensation claims, revealed that slip/fall accidents accounted for over 40% of dollar claims paid out.
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), passed by Congress in July, 1992, Title 111, notes:
For all businesses open to the public, ADA and ATBCB recommends flooring and walkways have a coefficient of friction level .60 or above and .80 for ramps.
There are severe penalties for failure to comply and tax benefits for those businesses taking steps to comply.

Safe-Stride does not guarantee you will not slip and fall.
People will continue to slip and fall on banana peels, soap bars and for hundreds of other reasons.
What we state is that your chances of falling on a wet, smooth, hard mineral surface will be greatly reduced when the coefficient of friction is increased.
A Safe-Stride treatment will dramatically increase the coefficient of friction.
