By Kingsley Adegboye

IN order to combat incidents of slips in wet areas in homes and hotels which often result to death of victims,  No-Slips Limited, a Lagos-based Nigerian firm has introduced Sure-step anti-slip product and services into Nigerian market.

Sure-step product which is a long-lasting chemical treatment that creates an invisible, sophisticated tread-line design into surface of hard mineral floors and porcelain or enamel bathtubs, has been proven for concrete, quarry tiles, Spanish tiles, ceramic tiles, glazed bricks, marble, terrazzo, porcelain or enamel and other mineral surfaces.

Unveiling the product at the weekend, the Executive Chairman of No-Slips Limited, Mr. Charles Igbinidu, said his firm has been given the sole right to carry out Surestep’s services in the country, adding that the company is an authorized and licensed national distributor and partner of Suresteps USA, LLC and Interlake Chemicals International.

Business of marketing

He explained that, No-Slips has been set-up to carry out the business of marketing and application of Suresteps’ products as a service to residential and industrial clients in its assigned territory of Nigeria.

Disclosing that there are daily reports of people who have lost their lives as a result of slip and fall from wet areas in homes and industrial environment, while there are also reports of those who have sustained life threatening injuries or permanent disability at their places of work as a result of wet and slippery floors, Igbinidu said with the advent of Suresteps in the country, domestic and industrial accidents resulting from slip and fall will be reduced drastically.

According to him, “Increasingly, many Nigerians are slipping and falling at home and their places of work resulting in severe injuries and even deaths. Information available indicate that slip and falls are currently among the major causes of accidents in private and public places in Nigeria and globally.

“Unlike in the western world where there are close to accurate information, there is a dearth of precise data on slip and falls in Nigeria. However, accessible figures show that fatalities from slip and falls in Nigeria is one of the highest in the world.

“On a rainy day, the entryway of every store and office building becomes a danger zone to customers and staff. Every marble floor that has just been mopped, every kitchen in every restaurant or school cafeteria; every bathtub in every hotel and home, every washroom floor with little drops of water, high-traffic areas where spills, drops and pools can occur are especially at risk.

“Other areas include bathrooms, tubs, kitchens, stairs, seating rooms in homes and businesses or commercial places such as malls, hotels, restaurants, banking halls, offices, factories and swimming pools.  Having a secure floor to walk on gives peace of mind and confidence both at home and offices.

“Sometimes, parents may forget to mop wet floors or wipe greasy substances that have spilled on the floor causing slip and fall accidents in the home and resulting to injuries. The most affected are children.

However, this risk can be reduced through effective floor and bathtub treatment and other precautionary measures making floors safer and healthier.

“Corporate organizations can now also reduce the risk of industrial accidents caused as a result of slippery floors when they apply Sure-step non-slip treatment. The good thing about this product is that it can be used to treat all kinds of floors, wooden, tiles, ceramic and others.
