LYNN, Mass. /Massachusetts Newswire/ — NevaSlip, a trusted and established anti-slip floor treatment company, is proud to announce OSHA, ADA and major insurance carrier compliance. The service aims to minimize falling, which is the second leading cause of accidental death in 1996 according to the National Safety Council. “We have received an increasing number of service requests over the past year resulting from insurance pressures for enhanced safety precautions. Our most common requests involve locker rooms, kitchens, lobbies, high-traffic entryways, patios and pool decks,” explained Stan Handman, Founder of NevaSlip Anti-Slip Floor Service.

“When budgets are tight across the board, preventative strategies safeguard businesses from the threat of insurance cancellation, costly litigation and medical liability.”

Data provided by the National Safety Council illustrates the importance of preventing falls, with a reported 9,023 fall-related fatal injuries of adults over the age of 65 and 87 of children under the age of nine in 2007 alone. The organization also cites falls solely responsible for more open wounds, fractures and brain injuries than any other cause of injury.

NevaSlip treatment involves a microscopic invisible tread etching within the floor’s surface, with minimal to no gloss reduction or color change. This tread, applied by factory-trained technicians, works to help prevent the sole of a shoe or foot from slipping and sliding. NevaSlip is designed to work on ceramic, porcelain or quarry tiles, marble, granite, terrazzo, limestone, slate and concrete. The company serves builders, architects, interior designers and leading businesses nationwide.

LYNN, Mass. /Massachusetts Newswire/ — NevaSlip, a 19 year old safety company, announces the development of a new formula for their anti-slip floor service. The company claims the new formula works more effectively than the old formula and is guaranteed to last for a minimum of 8 years. Stan Handman, NevaSlip president, reports that “A NevaSlip treated floor provides a Static Coefficient of Friction of at least 0.6, which complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines.”

NevaSlip states they can treat ceramic, porcelain and quarry tiles, marble, granite, terrazzo and concrete, indoors or outdoors. NevaSlip feels that their application answers the slip-fall problem for restaurants, hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, office buildings, etc. Slip-fall accidents are a major problem.

They are the second leading cause of accidental death after automobile accidents. The service is available nationally.

Tests Show NevaSlip(TM) Anti-Slip Floor Treatment is Safe for Environment, Perfect for ‘Green Building’

Liisa Sullivan — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 11:36:58 +0000

LYNN, Mass. /Massachusetts Newswire/ — Independent laboratory testing of the formula that NevaSlip(TM) anti-slip floor service uses to make architectural stone and tile floors slip resistant shows it to be 100% environmentally safe, even as it gives those floors a Static Coefficient of Friction (SCOF) rating that meets or exceeds current federal ADA regulations. These test results prove that using NevaSlip, architects, builders, and building owners active in the “green building” movement can make the natural stone and tile floors they prefer safe from harmful and costly slip-and-fall accidents, while still being “green.” And NevaSlip’s 8-year guarantee helps keep the building “green” long after it’s built.

“Natural stone is the ultimate ‘green’ flooring product,” says NevaSlip Owner and President Stan Handman, “but granite, marble, and other natural stones can be dangerously slippery when they get wet. That’s why NevaSlip is a perfect partner for an architect or builder who wants to be safe and make sure they stay LEED compliant in their buildings.”

LEED(R) does not offer green certification for building-related products, and there is not yet one dominant “green” product certification organization, but these test results have Handman exploring which certification procedures, if any, would mean the most to his architectural, building, and corporate clients.

NevaSlip is an anti-slip floor treatment service with 18 years of making floors slip resistant for a range of companies, health clubs, hospitals, manufacturers, nursing homes, shopping malls, and universities from coast to coast. With health care costs and personal injury law suits continually on the rise, many companies also look at NevaSlip installation as a cost-savings strategy.
