Safety matting bridges
the gap The Raiffeisen Bank in Gossau, Switzerland is using Frontrunner XT matting to provide safe passage for pedestrians on three footbridges which link the car-park to the bank’s entrance. The original safety problem occurred when the steel bridges got cold very quickly which in turn made the walkway surface icy and slippery.
The 100% vinyl open grid matting is manufactured by Plastic Extruders Ltd and was specified by flooring specialist Wibatec. It is very effective for these types of tough external environments as its diamond cut surface provides increased traction and safety underfoot even in wet and icy conditions. The close grid construction also makes it heel and wheel-proof and it is flexible enough to contour over the curve of the bridge.

Sadly, two fatalities are reported every year from this type of accident and 95% of incidents result in broken bones. Figures like this can be avoided and so can the legal action that comes with it. It is estimated that the average claim costs a retailer £15,000 per incident, with an average cost of £8,500 just to defend the claim.
LSP International’s Spill-Aid™ and Spill Sign Caddy™ are two products that can help to reduce these facts and figures, as well as reduce health and safety concerns and litigation nightmares.

It works instantly too – just pour on to the spill and brush in. It is then brushed up leaving the surface perfectly dry with no residue. It can also be used in situations where glass has been broken – absorbing any liquid around the glass so it can be swept up together.
The Spill Sign Caddy™ serves two purposes: it is both a caution sign and a spill kit. Usually when a spill occurs, a member of staff has to stand by to alert customers of the spill, while another will collect the necessary cleaning sign and materials.
The Spill Sign Caddy™ allows one trip to be made; acting as a sign, with all of the necessary cleaning materials stored inside. The spill kit inside contains a dustpan and brush, disposable waste sacks, gloves and Spill-Aid™.
