Safe-Stride®
THE SOLUTION TO...
"SLIPPERY WHEN WET"
SLIP-RESISTIVE SAFETY FLOOR TREATMENT AND SLIP-RESISTIVE CLEANER DEGREASERS
Protecting your employees and customers from hazards is a full time job and, of course, most businesses work very hard at it; but it's a fact that slip/falls kill more workers than all other forms of workplace accidents combined.
It's also a fact that a large part of Workers' Compensation Premiums paid to insurance companies goes to cover over 30 billion dollars per year in slip/fall medical expense.
And yet, slip/fall is a risk element which can be controlled and even eliminated if you know a few simple steps which can be taken - steps which can reduce your insurance premiums dramatically.
Developed In 1984 And Proven For:
Concrete, Quarry Tile, Spanish Tile, Ceramic Tile, Glazed Brick, Marble, Terrazzo, and other Hard Mineral Surfaces.
Independent Laboratory Tests Prove Superior Performance of Safe-Stride
Coefficient of Friction
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 III 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.
OSHA sets many requirements for safe floors, walkways and ramps under 29 CFR-1910 referring to providing floors of anti-slip surfaces or maintaining surfaces in non-slip condition.
