On a rainy day, the entrance way of every store and office building becomes a danger zone – for customers and staff.

Every marble floor that’s just been mopped, every kitchen in every restaurant or school cafeteria, every bathtub in every hotel, every washroom floor with a few drops of water – all these places and more are legal battlefields. Every commercial property or public building – and even private dwellings and bath areas – are faced with this potential liability.

Slip and fall accidents  on wet surfaces are a major problem for all types of commercial establishment as well as residences. Based on statistics from the National Safety Council, there are over 25,000 slip/fall injuries requiring hospital care each day! Workman’s compensation claims total $200 Million dollars per year! The total expense resulting from slip/fall injuries is a $100 Billion dollar problem. Some  injuries  are so severe that judges award a structured insurance settlement.

Unfortunately in today’s society, simple accidents can lead to very costly problems for you or your business. In an office or public building ascetics is important and many buildings now have beautiful tile, slate, granite entrances. They look great but once they become wet due to a spill or rain water, this combination becomes a hazard for people moving over these surfaces.

Think about where you have seen slip and fall potentials; pool decks, bath tubs and showers, spas, entry way to buildings when it is raining, walking through leaks or spills, the list goes on and on…

What is needed is a surface application that will not harm the appearance of the surface and will also provide an increase in the coefficient-of-friction of the floor. What is the coefficient-of-friction? It is the amount of surface tension that is felt when one steps on the surface, that provides the traction you feel. When the floors described get wet, they normally lose that coefficient-of-friction and set up a possible hazard.  If you are a victim be sure to contact a personal injury attorney.
