No Slip Solutions, LLC Formed To Help Prevent Slip and Fall Injuries

Arizona Based Slip Prevention Products Distributor Launches Efforts To Help Contractors, Facilities Managers, and Residents Solve Slippery Surface Problems

Goodyear, AZ. April 27, 2004--ASTM and OSHA guidelines require all businesses should maintain a coefficient of friction (COF) rating above .05 for level walking surfaces. The ADA calls for a rating of .06 for level surfaces and .08 for inclined surfaces such as ramp ways. These ratings are impossible to meet when the surface is wet unless properly treated. These guidelines also do not take into consideration that a higher COF may be necessary for certain work tasks, such as carrying objects, pushing or pulling objects. The end result is not to simply meet guidelines, but to adopt measures that greatly reduce slip and fall injuries and prevent the related financial or health consequences. Slip and fall injuries are a leading cause of workers compensation claims, lawsuits, and personal injuries at home.

No Slip Solutions, LLC an Arizona based slip prevention products distributor carries field proven non-slip products from the world's leading floor safety treatment manufacturer. Their products exceeds co-efficient of friction requirements for ASTM, OSHA, ADA, Canadian and U.S. Government industrial safety standards. The surface treatment increases the co-efficient of friction on all types of floors including ceramic, stone, wood, paint, concrete, vinyl, metal, etc., indoors and outdoors.

These advanced products have been used internationally by leading institutions for use in hotels, hospitals, restaurants, fast food chains, retail stores, food processing and industrial plants, gyms, swimming pool decks, shopping malls, department stores, food markets, senior care, schools, health clubs, nursing homes, airport terminals, and any area where slip accidents may occur. Home uses include bathtubs, showers, patios, swimming pool decks, and hard floor areas where slip resistance is required.

While the causes of slip injuries have many variables, No Slip Solutions, LLC intends to help reduce slip injuries by providing products that render surfaces slip resistant even when wet. Their products include non slip floor & bathtub treatments, non slip paint coatings, non slip floor finishes, non slip cleaners & degreasers, safety tapes, and spill absorbents. They provide products for virtually any type of surface.

One of their innovative products is the floor treatments, which microscopically alters natural stone tiles and concrete surfaces without negatively affecting the appearance. You have to see it to believe it. "Our product lines are engineered specifically to enhance slip resistance by increasing the static co-efficient of friction (SCOF). Having a wet surface is where most surfaces fail and cause injuries. In addition, achieving a higher SCOF in dry conditions is important for certain work tasks, such as carrying objects, pushing or pulling objects." states a company spokesman.

No Slip Solutions markets their products through specialty contractors and direct to end-users. They have created a very unique distribution model that includes helping contractors find new business opportunities. "We don't simply take orders, we're out having our products specified for use, then bring in an authorized contractor that best suits the application. We work hard to create a partnership program that adds business value and generates new opportunities for our authorized contractor network. In return, they're out promoting our products to offer a distinct competitive advantage in their field of expertise. Everyone wins with our products and business approach, the contractors, the end-users, and patrons." adds the company spokesman.

The company also offers a service portfolio for both the end-users and contractors. They provide training, project supervision, testing and monitoring services. The testing and monitoring service includes a wet/dry surface test using a mechanical slip meter to measure surface friction conditions. This is an especially effective tool for businesses to document efforts in providing a safer environment. Business customers may select an on-going documentation safety program on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis to fully document surface conditions.

No Slip Solutions will conduct a free wet/dry surface test to measure the co-efficient of friction for new prospective customers. For more information and free consultation you may contact No Slip Solutions at e-mail protected from spam bots or call toll-free at 877.366.7547 ext 704.
