New advice line to help flooring industry get to grips with
slips and trips
A new telephone advice line has been set up to help
flooring professionals to master the new industry
guidelines on slip resistance.
The Slips and Trips Advice Line has been launched by
Altro, the leading manufacturer and supplier of safety
flooring, to meet the growing demand from contractors,
specifiers and end users who are unsure how the new
CIRIA guidelines Safer Surfaces to Walk On will impact
on their businesses.
Callers have access to a team of technical advisors who
are ready to answer queries on slip resistance and other
flooring issues affecting a wide range of organisations,
including schools, hospitals, shops, restaurants,
factories and other public buildings. Advice is also
available on selection of flooring materials,
installation and slip resistance testing.
"The new publication from CIRIA gives clear guidance on
the obligation to install slip resistant floors in many
different public areas wherever water from wet shoes,
cleaning or minor spills may be present," said Ron
Austin, business development manager at Altro.
"The Slips and Trips Advice Line aims to put an end to
any confusion to ensure that everyone can easily get to
grips with their responsibilities and legal obligations
and help to reduce the risk of slips and trips and
possible enforcement action by the HSE by selecting the
right flooring materials for each area of their
premises. People can telephone for free information on
slip resistance issues affecting both their customers
and their staff."
Altro is supporting the new guidelines and has copies of
a document summarizing the CIRIA publication available
on request. In addition, flooring professionals can take
advantage of Altro's own advisory booklet, Slips &
Trips: the essential modern guide to prevention, which
gives an easy to read overview of the topic.
