Reduces Workers Compensation Insurance Costs

A reduction in employee slip and fall accidents will provide substantial reductions in workers’ compensation costs. If an organization is self insured, the reduction in accidents will result in a 100% net gain. (That is a dollar saved is a dollar on the bottom line.) With third party insurance, savings can come in the form of reduced premiums and/or rebates. Even though slip and falls are the number one employee accident in most industries, it is important to note that many other accidents such as cuts, burns and back injuries are often a result of a slip.

Reduces General Liability Insurance Costs

The cost of general liability insurance is increasing at such a rate that it may soon be cost-prohibitive for large and small companies alike to be adequately covered.

As with workers’ compensation, savings can come from three areas. If an organization is self-insured, the reduction in accidents will result in a 100% net gain. With third party insurance, savings can come in the form of reduced premiums and/or rebates, but additional savings result from a reduction in deductible payouts. Because general liability premiums are often experience driven, most clients can anticipate even larger savings in the out years.

Increases Employee Production

Using Tuff-Grip Floor Treatment will increase overall productivity in several important ways:

• By creating a less hazardous walking surface, the rate of which employees can move around the workplace safely is increased. This is particularly important to the fast paced hospitality industry.
• Preventing slip and fall accidents precludes the loss of key, skilled individuals. This prevents the need to ”fill” a position vacated by the accident with a less skilled employee and does not require a drain on the supervisor’s time to provide additional training to bring the new employee “up to speed”
• The elimination of any accident eliminates “down times” during which the business grinds to a halt immediately following the incident.
• Lessens the Likelihood of Negligent Lawsuits
• Although any accident victim will almost automatically be entitled to compensation for medical costs, the major expense of lawsuits form injured workers and patrons comes from the punitive damage awards and out of court settlement.
• By proactively engaging in a loss control program to prevent slip and falls, a company can demonstrate “reasonable care” of workers, guests and patrons. The result is the ability to protect the company and individual employees from large, potentially damaging claims of negligence by providing a safe working and public environment.
• In the near future it is likely that the failure to implement preventative measures such as a Tuff-Grip Floor Treatment safety program will in and of itself, be grounds for negligence judgments.
