The Problem

(as per NFSI.org)

Research, based in part on insurance industry claims data, has revealed five major causes responsible for almost all slips, trips and falls. Although the actual percentages may vary from one industry to another, the following five causes have been well documented across different industry groups, environmental conditions, and geographies.
Although the walking surface is most likely to be identified as the primary cause of a slip, trip-and-fall accident, comprising 55% of all falls, the remaining 45% are attributable to four other factors, including footwear, fraud, hazard identification, and training. Therefore, a property owner's slip and fall prevention strategy should focus on a comprehensive approach that addresses all causes especially their floors.

The solution

A Unique Product

MagicGrip™ is the only treatment process of its kind available today, achieving required levels of slip resistance leaving polished surfaces brilliantly glossy. Working at molecular level, it is invisible to the naked eye. Even if you ran your hand over it, it won’t feel “bumpy” like most other non-slip coating treatments – ensuring ease of cleaning and maintenance. Once treated, a MagicGrip™ safety surface feels safe under foot. And when the surface is wet, it can save many nasty slip or fall injuries so pedestrians feel safe and confident.
