According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every 18 seconds, an older adult is sent to the emergency room because of a fall. Annually, approximately two million older adults are treated for falls, which result in billions of direct costs.
Why do slip and fall accidents happen? Many of the causes for these accidental slips and falls are preventable, the major ones being bad flooring, improper footwear, poor signage, and lack of training.
While proper signage and training can be effective to help reduce the chances of slip and fall accidents, they are not effective in all conditions. Even a few drops of water can be the reason for a terrible slip and fall accident.
So, what is the best way to ensure that your floors are completely safe and non-slip all the time?
