Anti-slip mats and accident at work claims
02/03/2011

Sadly, every year in the UK hundreds of accident at work claims are made for slip and trip incidents which could easily have been avoided.

Among these are incidents in which a person, perhaps a worker or visitor, has slipped on a wet or slippery surface where the use of an anti-slip mat could have prevented the accident.

On a positive note, the sheer number of accident at work claims made for this type of incident means that a record number of businesses are now using anti-slip mats, in a variety of working environments.

Many of us will benefit from the presence of anti-slip mats on a daily basis without being aware of this fact.

They are in use in public and workplace toilets and washrooms, factories, kitchens, hospitals, restaurants, saunas, swimming pools, building foyers and pubs, clubs and bars.

In fact, so ubiquitous are anti-slip mats that some experts believe they save insurance companies millions of pounds in no win, no fee compensation settlements each year.

However, not all anti-slip mats are suited to all purposes. Before deciding to introduce an anti-slip mat into a workplace, employers will need to investigate matters of its suitability for the specific environment and incorporate this process, where appropriate into the individual workplace's risk assessment.

No win, no fee firm YouClaim comments, "Employing and acting on a risk assessment is the first step to avoiding workplace injuries. Anti-slip mats should be a consideration for many workplaces, from primary schools to heavy industries."
