ThermoGrip: The Solution to Prevent Slip-and-Fall Accidents

Slips, trips, and falls may seem like minor accidents, but they have significant consequences, especially among adults. According to recent statistics, every 11 seconds, an adult is treated in an emergency room due to a slip and fall, with every 19 minutes resulting in the tragic loss of an older person's life. Recovery from these accidents can be lengthy and challenging, disrupting lives for weeks or even months.

In 2013, researchers delved into the causes of these injuries and identified a critical factor: floor conditions, particularly in transition areas. Loose, unsecured rugs, damaged carpets, and curled edges were found to be major contributors to falls, posing a significant risk to individuals' safety, especially in homes and commercial spaces.

For building owners and managers, addressing this issue is paramount. While entry mats and floor mats are essential for maintaining cleanliness and preventing soil and moisture from entering facilities, the problem of mat curling has persisted, often due to inferior materials used in rental mats.

Enter ThermoGrip, a revolutionary matting technology designed to tackle this issue head-on. ThermoGrip features a vinyl backing made of robust Nitrile rubber, which not only prevents edge curling but also enhances the mat's durability to withstand high foot traffic in busy locations like malls, retail stores, hotels, and airports.

The antimicrobial properties of ThermoGrip add another layer of protection, inhibiting the growth of germs and mold beneath the entrance mat. This not only contributes to a cleaner indoor environment but also safeguards the floor surface, which is essential for maintaining hygiene standards.

With ThermoGrip, building owners and managers can significantly reduce the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, creating safer environments for employees, visitors, and customers alike. Investing in this innovative technology not only enhances safety but also minimizes the potential for costly liability claims associated with preventable accidents.

ThermoGrip represents a game-changer in the matting industry, offering a comprehensive solution to prevent slip-and-fall accidents and promote safety in all types of environments. It's time to step forward with confidence, knowing that ThermoGrip has you covered, every step of the way.
