According to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) there were over 3 million people injured in restaurants last year as a result of slip and falls. Millions are spent each year settling these claims. While insurance can provide coverage, the negative publicity can hurt your restaurants’ reputation. The NFSI offers a few recommendations to help you reduce your risk of slip and falls:
- Select high-traction, slip-resistant flooring materials.
- Verify with the cleaning personnel that they are familiar with, and are using, the correct application procedures.
- Utilize safety signs when there is a water spill.
- Ensure that permanently installed features like carpet runners and mats are included in the maintenance and housekeeping program.
- Require employees to use slip restraint footwear.
- Ensure that staff is well trained in spill prevention and response programs.
