A slip and fall cost Wokingham Council £4600 in compensation and £4400 in legal fees after a council worker slipped whilst at work. The slip was one of 29 slips, trips and falls occurring during 2008 and 2009, with 3 of those resulting in hospital visits.
Aside from the legal and moral obligation to provide a safe surface for workers, the business case for expert assessment is clear. Grip Potential can provide a comprehensive and impartial assessment of floor surfaces for a fraction of the price of just a single slip and fall injury. Whilst prevention is always better than cure, we are able to provide forensic investigative support for legal cases, ensuring an accurate measure of the slip resistance of the surface is obtained quickly and before legal fees spiral.
