Or an elder who hurt their feeble knees or hips? Or maybe you fell down yourself? It was probably not serious and you may have brushed it off as an accident. Then too, you put the blame on the wetness of the floor, accidental spillages, not having walked properly and so on. In the meantime, we often forget to blame the real cause of such accidents – the floor itself. What causes slip fall accident
s? Floors by their very nature are designed to show off their sheen. Polished to a fine shine, almost any floor can lead to slippage and accidents. Then of course there are the usual culprits: wet floors, accidental spillages of water and oil, high humidity, floor mopping, soap solutions, wet shampoo, improper cleaning, wax-coated floors and so on. And the most common places where such accidents happen are the kitchens, wet passages, balconies, bathrooms, etc. In any environment, there is usually a localized spot that is more slippery than the rest of the floor. That’s where you are more susceptible to slip and fall. Added to that, if the floor doesn’t have an SCOF (Surface Coefficient Friction) of at least 0.5 COF, the floor becomes extremely prone to slippage. The SCOF measures the slipperiness of the floor and provides an actual guideline to how much is mandatory as instructed by OSHA & NFSI. Therefore, for any floor to be safe for us to walk should at least have a Surface Coefficient Friction of 0.5 or above. More the better. It takes just one bad fall to suddenly turn things serious. Not only does it cost you a lot in terms of medical expenses, but at times, can unfortunately cost lives as well. What if there was a way to protect yourself against such slip fall accidents?
