The installation of the non slip epoxy floor paint was carried out successfully over a one week period by the Vuba Contracting Division. A representative from Worcester University commented “The floor has performed well underfoot and we are very happy with the installation”. Sean Scott of Vuba Industrial Supplies stated that “With the increase in claims for slips and trips, not specifying the correct anti slip flooring system can become very costly, besides the possible health and safety consequences. Our anti slip floor paint system can assure businesses and authorities they are doing everything they can to prevent such accidents in their workplace or public area.”
University to Prevent Slips and Trips-Test
According to the Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations 1992, floor surfaces must not be slippery so they put people’s safety at risk. Slips and trips account for a total of 35,000 incidents per year according to the HSE, which equates to one serious slip accident every three minutes. This was a major consideration when specifying a non slip flooring system to the new Science Building.
