Cost of Slip and Falls
The annual direct cost in the U.S. attributed to slip and fall
accidents is $7 billion, according to research by Liberty Mutual,
the Boston-based insurance company that specializes in worker’s
compensation insurance. If you include indirect costs such as
lost productivity and the time it takes to investigate incidents,
that figure can climb as high as $35 billion. The average cost
of a worker’s slip and fall accident is $12,470.00. Costs
from these injuries may include emergency response fees, surgery,
recovery and rehabilitation, or permanent disability.
For the employer or facility owner/operator, these falls mean
lost income, loss of productivity, and often bring huge lawsuits
and settlements, litigation costs, and high liability and worker’s
compensation insurance rates. Read

Why Floors Become Slippery When Wet
When new, almost all tile floors will have a minimum co-efficient
of friction (C.O.F) of 0.50 or above in a dry condition and it
is seldom that a slip/fall will occur. However, when floor surfaces
are subjected to water or other liquid spills, the C.O.F will
drop dramatically. Tile and mineral flooring all have microscopic
pores and crevices that aid in channeling water and liquid spills.
But floor surfaces become contaminated by dirt, oil, grease,
and food particles that combine with the soapy residue left behind
by most daily cleaners, filling in these natural channels and
leaving the spill nowhere to go. This extremely dangerous combination
creates a phenomenon known as polymerization. Read
