Anti-Slip Treatment
Today, Indians are living longer while staying active and healthy. But adults and elders are at risk for falls, which can signal the beginning of the end of that active life – and their independence. Injuries from falls can lead to limited activity, reduced mobility, loss of fitness and a fear of falling, all of which increases the risk of additional injury.
It is commonly believed that a wet floor is a slippery floor. For most slip-and-fall victims, they see unsafe floors and poor maintenance as the sole cause of their accident. How often have you heard an injured victim of a slip and fall blame himself for the accident? Rarely. But floors are not the only cause of slips and falls. In some cases, a wet floor can actually be more slippery than when dry. Hazardous floors are a direct cause of approximately 50% of most slip and fall claims while the other 50% is because of bad footwear and improper hazard identification.
