With a view to eliminating the “slippery when wet” factor, HAYPLUS is pleased to introduce SURE STEP in Nigeria. Statistics are not available for the Nigerian market but in order to appreciate the extent of the slip/fall challenge and the potential business, reference is made to American Statistics. Relative to population the challenge of slip/fall injury is no less prevalent elsewhere in the world.
On a rainy day, the entranceway of every store and office building becomes a danger zone – for customers and staff.
Every marble floor that’s just been mopped, every kitchen in every restaurant or school cafeteria; every bathtub in every hotel, every washroom floor with a few drops of water – all these places and more are legal battlefields.
Every commercial property or public building – and even private dwellings and bath areas – are faced with this potential liability.
The Department of Labour and the National Safety Council have provided us with the following facts:
Slip and fall accidents are the second leading cause of accidental deaths; automobile accidents are number one.
Slip and falls are the number one cause of accidental injuries in hotels, restaurants and public buildings.
More than 9 million slip and fall accidents occur in North America every year.
About 25,000 people a day are hospitalized as a result of these accidents.
On the average, 55 people a day DIE as a result of slip/falls.
55% of adults over 40 years of age have experienced slip/fall accidents.
Almost 35% of slip/fall accidents involve children.
The potential market for a slip and fall protection is endless. Every floor and bathtub represents another customer.
