Stairs in facilities can become extremely hazardous when covered with oil, grease, water and other liquids. Stairs can cause slip and fall accidents and injuries to employees. Slip resistant stairs are one possible solution to slippery stairs within work environments. Slip resistant stairs can provide a long lasting solution that helps to reduce slip and fall accidents.
Stairways, one of the leading causes of serious injury or even death. The American National Council on Compensation Insurance estimated in 2001-2002 that the cost of such fall injuries was second only to those caused by motor vehicles. Safe stairways are not something that can be avoided or set aside. Many times cost scares companies out of providing safe walking surfaces for workers and employees. The problem with this way of thinking is that the cost of an injury is up to one hundred times the cost of new flooring. Fines from OSHA can be crippling to a company due to the fact it is mandatory for employers to evaluate and fix unsafe stair treads within a reasonable time range.
