Over the period of a year to 2010 the largest single cause of injury to greater Manchester Police officers and staff was slips, trips and falls with some 384 officers injured.
It is down to the training and decision making of the individual officers when it comes to evaluating hazards 'on the beat', making it impossible to ensure a compliant slip resistant surface at all times, however it is very straightforward to ensure a safe surface in police owned properties.
Whilst there are moral and legal requirements to provide a safe surface, the business case for such provision is clear with any outlay on independent assessment and/or product replacement being eclipsed by the fees associated with even a single slip and fall injury. Grip Potential stand ready to provide a complete and impartial assessment of surfaces nationwide and at competitive rates. Contact us today for further information. |
