Maintaining your facility is also critical in safeguarding employees from slip and fall injuries. Slippery flooring surfaces have a large impact on the safety of facilities. It has been cited that 85 percent of worker’s compensation claims are tied to employees falling on slippery surfaces. This statistic illustrates the grave danger that slick, unmaintained flooring can pose to staff members and visitors. By following a regular facility maintenance schedule, one can expect to reduce the number of injuries seen as well as keep a cleaner appearance.
