general purpose absorbent socks absorb both oil and water base liquids and drips. The socks can be molded around leaky equipment, machinery and drums to stop spill before these spills reach walkways and present an immediate hazard.

2) Use slip resistant industrial matting in areas where a smooth floor presents a hazard. Pro

Slips and falls in the workplace costs industries millions of dollars per year in workmen compensation claims and from civil lawsuits from the general public. Slippery floors can be eliminated in the workplace environment.

However, wet slippery floors are an everyday occurrence and are sometimes not considered a major health hazard. But slips and falls that are the result from flooring that is unsafe accounts for more than 70% of the reported injuries reported to OSHA.

The OSHA requirement for floor safety is clear. "The floor of every workroom shall be maintained in a clean and, so far as possible, a dry condition. Where wet processes are used, drainage shall be maintained, and false floors, platforms, mats or other dry standing places should be provided where practicable." [29 CFR 1910.22(a)(2)]

Certain industries are at greater risk than others. Those industries that require large volumes of liquid products for manufacturing are prone to have leaks from equipment and from the production of goods.

Liquids leak and drip and over spray from production equipment lands on the floors and walkways. Employees use these areas but in some retail areas customers are also at risk for a slip and fall accident.

1) Use Absorbent universal socks are the best choice for industrial applications. The general purpose absorbent socks absorb both oil and water base liquids and drips. The socks can be molded around leaky equipment, machinery and drums to stop spill before these spills reach walkways and present an immediate hazard.

2) Use slip resistant industrial matting in areas where a smooth floor presents a hazard. Provide safe footing in work areas use matting that grips the floor for safe walking.

Absorbent industrial matting provides good protection by drawing and trapping liquids into the inner highly absorbent melt blown layer. Work areas can be lined with absorbent mats to keep them dry, comfortable and non-slip.

3) Make good housekeeping a priority. Cut liability exposure to slip and falls. Eliminates possible EPA fines for polluting if improper cleaning techniques are being used. You improve the appearance of your facility by eliminating unsightly oil spills. The first step in keeping work areas safe is keeping them free of liquid spills and hazards.

There are several cost effective solutions available to create a safer workplace. Providing a safe floor surface in the work areas with industrial matting is a win-win situation.
