SkidTech Offers Financial Solutions for the Healthcare Industry
If you have ever sat in a corporate financial meeting, you know the number one goal of every department is eliminating unnecessary expense. Did you know that one of the easiest ways to reach that goal is fall prevention?
Weekly, businesses across the country pay nearly $1 billion dollars for direct worker’s compensation costs. This has a huge impact on the healthcare industry specifically, where the highest counts of nonfatal fall injuries continue to happen. This unfortunate statistic applies most to healthcare support, building cleaning, and building maintenance personnel. (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/falls/)
According to Brent Johnson of the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), 55% of slips and falls are caused in some way by the actual flooring itself. In a hospital or healthcare facility, this makes perfect sense where dealing with spilled liquids, ambulatory assistance, food services, or aging patients is a common occurrence. The silver lining to these gloomy facts is that SkidTech has the solution.
Our SureStep products are the fastest, safest, most economical approach to slip and fall prevention. Application of SureStep creates an invisible, sophisticated tread that will result in a 200 – 400% increase in co-efficient of friction. We are so confident that our treatment will eliminate slippage that we will warranty the application for one full year. We will even conduct a slip meter test before and after the application to document the improvement to your floors so that you can share the changes with your financial and insurance agents.
In addition to floor safety, we offer a number of other no-slip solutions for your building. We would love to give you a demonstration and invite you to contact us at (701) 353-9948 or visit us online at www.skidtech.net to make arrangements. Eliminating costs while increasing safety is a win-win solution for everyone at your healthcare facility. ■
