Mats Prevent Slips

26/04/2009

Research shows that slips and falls are the single most common cause of injuries obtained in the workplace. Over 30% of the total number of worker injuries are related to slips, trips and falls.


National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI)


The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) in the UK conducts research into accidents in the workplace related to slips and falls. Their mission is to help various industries, business managers and owners reduce their slip and fall risk through education, training and research.

According to the NFSI, 50% of the total number of accidents related to slips and falls are due to wet and dirty floors.


Keep your workplace safe


It’s important to keep your workplace as safe as possible for your staff and visitors by making sure your floors are dry and clean. Wet and dirty floors not only make your building potentially hazardous, but they also make your building look unprofessional and poorly managed - not ideal for presenting the best image of your company.
