It is always welcome news when a simple but effective solution becomes available for an age-old problem.
Businesses and facility operators can now benefit from a new safety product being distributed by your local Grip Guard franchise partner.
Grip Guard franchise director Greg Carr explained the problem and the solution.
“There are few people who haven’t had or nearly had a slip and fall accident. Slip/fall injuries are often caused by wet and slippery floors in the workplace, commercial properties, public areas and in the home. With the increased focus on occupational health and safety in the workplace and the sudden increase in third party litigation, Grip Guard’s treatment for slippery surfaces is most timely.”
The product and treatment process is called Grip Guard. It’s been used extensively in the USA for many years and is now available in Australia.
Grip Guard is an anti-slip treatment suitable for ceramic and quarry tile, terrazzo, marble, granite and concrete, as well as porcelain baths. The three step process creates a microscopic tread pattern on the surface whilst leaving the appearance virtually unchanged. The Grip Guard franchise dramatically increases the slip resistance (co-efficient of friction) especially when the surface is wet, therefore reducing or eliminating the likelihood of slip/fall injuries. In fact, Grip Guard franchise treatment actually makes the surface safer wet than dry, and it’s guaranteed for two years.
Hospital and nursing homes have been quick to recognise the benefits of Grip Guard for the elderly and infirm, but almost every business, building and home can benefit from Grip Guard franchise treatment.
Entry foyers, bathrooms, toilets, commercial kitchens, steps, patios/verandas, pathways, cool rooms, food and drink service areas and swimming pools are just a few of the areas that can become wet from rain or liquid spills, and become very slippery and dangerous to walk on.
Greg Carr is happy to provide advice, a demonstration and an obligation free quote.
As Greg recommends: “don’t wait for an accident that leads to serious injury or litigation before you do something about your slippery floors”.
