- Why You Need It
- Insurance studies in the food and beverage industry, an analysis of over 225,000 worker compensation claims, revealed that slip/fall accidents accounted for over 40% of dollar claims paid out.
- The American Disabilities Act (ADA) passed by congress in July 1992 Title III notes: For all business open to the public, The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (ATBCB) recommends flooring and walkways have a coefficient of friction level .60 or above and .80 for ramps. There are penalties for failure to comply and tax benefits for those businesses taking steps to comply.
- OSHA sets many requirements for safe floors, walkways and ramps under 29 CFR-1910 referring to providing floors with anti-slip surfaces or maintaining surfaces in non-slip condition. OSHA recommends 0.50 COF.
- Accepted Industry Standards
- As adopted by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM):
- 0.50 COF or above has been traditionally recognized as providing non-hazardous walkway surfaces.
