How Can Hospitals and Clinics Improve Slip Resistance?
Healthcare facilities can take several steps to enhance slip resistance and ensure the safety of their staff:
1. Regular Maintenance: Ensure that floors are cleaned and dried promptly, and that any spills are addressed immediately. 2. Proper Footwear Policies: Encourage or mandate the use of slip-resistant footwear among staff. 3. Staff Training: Educate staff on the importance of slip resistance and how to recognize and mitigate hazards. 4. Floor Treatments: Apply anti-slip coatings or mats in high-risk areas to improve traction.
