Commercial Floor Applications According to the National Safety Council there are over 9 million disabling slip/fall injuries every year. Fast food outlets, nursing homes, restaurants, office buildings, banks, hospitals, malls, spas, country clubs, and bathroom & showers are just some of the facilities that NEED to have a slip proof agent applied. The very young who play, slip and slide in the bathtub or the elderly who may lose their balance and have no chance to recover on a slippery bathtub surface are the primary people who will benefit with a single treatment. All the people in between the young and the elderly who think it will never happen to them (until it does) will also find slip proofing very beneficial. The Americans with Disabilities Act provides that all businesses must maintain their floors in slip proof condition. Failure to comply results in increased fines, higher commercial insurance and Workers Compensation, plus needless human suffering. Businesses are eligible for tax credits and tax deductions when a slip proof agent is applied. When applied, this unique treatment will increase the Static Coefficient of Friction (SCOF) on surfaces including ceramic, concrete, marble, vinyl and many more, making them actually less slippery wet than when dry. Government statistics show that each year, one out of every three people aged 65 or older, reports a slip/fall accident. Each year, falls account for an estimated 850,000 fractures among adults, with costs estimated to be $13.8 billion in 1995 alone. The good news is that 75% of falls are preventable with simple interventions and technologies.
