New OSHA Rules for Floor Safety

Late last summer, OSHA released its new rules for Walking and Working Surfaces which set updated standards for floorcare, safety, and inspection. In an article posted on Cleaning & Maintenance Management, Russell Kendzior, founder of the National Floor Safety Institute, highlights the changes related to floor safety. In particular, "OSHA’s proposed new rule will require that: a. An effective housekeeping program (including floorcare) is needed. b. That a “qualified person” is required to perform walkway inspections. It is clear that — by OSHA mandate — every employer will be required to designate a qualified person to inspect their walkways to ensure they are in compliance with the newly referenced ANSI standards." At Floor 2 Ceiling Solutions, we can help you with these new rules. We can - Demo our anti-slip product - Discuss products that will ensure your floors remain slip-proof after treatment - Discuss how we can help your maintenance staff change their floor safety protocol to ensure your floors remain slip-proof Call us today at 978-462-0362 or email us. It's the safe bet.

Recommended solutions for wet floors

- Keep floors clean and dry. In addition to being a slip hazard, continually wet surfaces promote the growth of mold, fungi, and bacteria, that can cause infections. - Provide warning signs for wet floor areas. - Where wet processes are used, maintain drainage and provide false floors, platforms, mats, or other dry standing places where practicable, or provide appropriate waterproof footgear. - Ensure spills are reported and cleaned up immediately. - Use no-skid waxes and surfaces coated with grit to create non-slip surfaces in slippery areas such as toilet and shower areas. - Use waterproof footgear to decrease slip/fall hazards. (Source: OSHA) Alternatively, apply our anti-slip floor treatment for an invisible and guaranteed solution.

2.3 million non-fatal fall injuries occurred among mature adults.

662,000 of these individuals were hospitalized.

Less than half of mature adults who fell reported this to their health care providers.

In 2013, these falls cost $30 billion in medical care and surgical costs.

Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries.

Those age 75 plus are four to five times more likely to fall than those ages 65 to 74.

Safety Tips for Slips, Trips and Falls Prevention

• Use rubber mats or other non-slip materials on slippery floors...or better yet, apply our anti-slip floor treatment and minimize the cost associated with mats. • Rugs should be in good condition, free of curled edges or tears. • Keep passageways and aisles clear of materials. • Outside yards and walking areas should be kept free of debris, ice, and snow. • Stairways should be well lit and have secure handrails. The stairs should be kept clean, dry and free of obstructions.

Did you know?

A "slip" occurs when there is too little traction or friction between the shoe and walking surface.

A "trip" occurs when a person’s foot contacts an object in their way or drops to a lower level unexpectedly, causing them to be thrown off-balance. A trip most often results in a person falling forward, while a slip most often results in the person falling backward.

A "fall" occurs when you are too far off-balance.
