Are your floors safe?...
If you own a business or are responsible for the safety of your
customers and staff, it is imperative that you know if your
floor surfaces represent a slip risk in both dry and wet
conditions. A floor that is safe in dry conditions can become
extremely dangerous when wet, leaving you liable to prosecution
if a person slips.
Every three minutes in the UK alone there is a serious injury
caused by a slip. Slipping and tripping are the biggest cause's
of accidents so why wait
for a slip or trip accident to happen in or around a property
you own or are responsible for?
Being due diligent and pro-active when it comes to slippery floors is not only a sensible practice but it is what both the Spanish and European regulations demand!
Did You know?
That in the Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE) the slip testing of floors in both public and work places is now included.
