protruding nails, splinters, holes, loose boards or tiles.
Practice sound record keeping by keeping a cleaning log,

floor safety program is key to fighting accusations of
negligence.)

education and training as necessary.
Provide all employees with a consistent level of product usage
training, and ask your cleaning chemical manufacturer for

comprehensive slip/fall prevention strategy, which consists of

Provide a reward system for employees who promote positive
safety promotions.
Footwear
Be specific when recommending appropriate safety footwear
and select only slip-resistant soles.
Require the shoe manufacturer to produce data as it relates to
performance.
Provide employees with access to slip-resistant footwear and
make it a job requirement.
