How to Perform an Entrance Effectiveness Audit
Slips, trips, and falls rank No. 3 on the National Safety Council’s list of workplace injury events that result in lost days of work with over 300,000 cases in 2018. Liberty Mutual’s 2018 Safety Workplace Index ranks the most disabling U.S. workplace injuries and reports that trips, slips, and falls account for 33% with an estimated cost of $19.4 billion. While facilities management professionals are increasingly challenged with limited resources and restricted budgets, the health and safety of building occupants and visitors are top priorities. A properly designed entrance system supports maintenance teams by removing moisture and debris from the bottom of footwear to reduce the risk of slips and falls.
