What is Safe Solution®?
|
|
Safe Solution® is an invisible non-coating, micro-etch application for hard mineral
surfaces such as ceramic tile, cement, steel enameled bathtubs, designed to create an anti-slip surface.

How effective is it?
|
|
|
According to Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM),“A static anti-slip coefficient of .5 or above is considered a safe walkway surface.” A Safe Solution® treated surface is 0.6 – 0.7.

Will Safe Solution® damage my floor? |
|
Safe Solution® may cause a temporary whitening or efflorescence that will disappear in a short amount of time. A slight dulling effect can sometimes be seen, but a test area is always done prior to application to determine any effect it might have on the surface.

Is it a
permanent process? |
|
Experience
tells us that routine daily cleaning does not stop the eventual
buildup of
film and residue left over from cleaning products used.
When this occurs
traction will be diminished and your floor will require
rejuvenating.
Once this occurs, the floors will not be operating at maximum
effectiveness and traction will be diminished. Most
commercial
applications average 1-2 years between rejuvenations.

This sounds
expensive and I have a limited
budget…. |
|
When you
consider a single slip-fall claim costs an
average insurance premium payer
a $5,000 deductible, and that
a Safe Solution® treated floor can provide up to a 10% reduction in insurance premiums and lower WCB rates, it is not only a great value, but quite affordable too.

I have an
existing contract with a cleaning
supply company. Will this cause any
problems? |
|
Contracts as
generally used in the service industry
are voidable contracts which means
that if what
you are currently using doesn’t address a specific need
like providing and maintaining an anti-slip surface, then it
can’t
be regarded as a breach of
contract. These types of contracts
benefit the
provider and not the customer by “locking them in”
despite how they are usually presented. The Floor
Safety
Maintenance Program offers all the benefits of a
contract with none
of the obligations.
Most contracts contain a simple 30-day
notice of change.

How do
you maintain a Safe Solution® treated
floor? |
|
Safe
Solution®
treated floors
should be maintained like any other floor with a good
quality user friendly heavy-duty strength, close to neutral pH cleaner
that does not leave a residue. Our Clean Step™ is an
essential
part of any floor safety program and is designed to
ensure maximum
slip-resistance. It is obviously ideal for
a Safe Solution®
treated floor.

What
is the Floor Safety Maintenance Program? |
|
The FSMP is an ongoing maintenance and inspection program designed
specifically to optimize and prolong the anti-slip properties or a
Safe
Solution® treated floor. It offers valuable assistance and
documentation in the form
of a warranty certificate and
affidavit, if necessary, in the event of
slip-fall
lawsuits and claims. The FSMP also provides substantial discounts on future Safe
Solution® rejuvenations, by purchasing Clean Step™ as your
regular
everyday cleaner.
