Slip & Fall Injuries in the Lower Mainland
As mentioned in a previous blog post

- Over 540,000 Slip-Fall injuries, requiring hospital care, occur in North America each year
- One in three serious bone breaks for seniors, resulting in death, within one year of the accident
- Second leading cause of accidental death and disability after automobile accidents
- Slip and fall accidents account for 30% of all reported injuries
…among many other statics you can read about here.
Preventing such statistics is key, and we have the anti-slip flooring products that can help with that.
