Get More From Floors - Get More From Safety

Flowcrete UK continues its cross-industry promotion of industrial floors with a review of health and safety underfoot in its Get More From Floors campaign, which uses a multi-media approach to show manufacturers how floors can play a major role in supporting good working environments through the installation of a correctly specified Epoxy, Polyurethane or Methylmethacrylate (MMA) resin floor finish.

Get More From Floors - Get More Safety is the third of six subjects being explored throughout 2011 under the campaign, following on from the issues of floor durability and floor hygiene. Specific floor safety information is located at www.flowcrete.co.uk/campaigns/get-more-from-floors/get-more-safety.

Pulling together a variety of content, the Get More From Floors resource centre shares Flowcrete’s 30 years’ wide-ranging experience and flooring expertise to help industry professionals make informed decisions about their flooring requirements.

The campaign highlights how, from anti-slip surfaces, through to the use of lineage and demarcation zones to signpost people safely around a site, floors are key to the smooth and functional running of industrial areas.

Alan Dean, Managing Director of Flowcrete UK, said: “According to the HSE, one serious slip accident occurs every three minutes in the UK – most of which occur on a floor contaminated by water, grease or other substances.

“Health and safety is a major concern faced by manufacturers and, with this in mind, we have explored the subject in detail at the Get More From Floors online portal, available at www.flowcrete.co.uk/campaigns/get-more-from-floors.

“Flowcrete is well-placed to offer advice on the issue. We have a number of flooring solutions to help reduce the risk of slips, trips and other accidents in the workplace - as well as improve workflow management to eliminate these problems at ground level."
