Slip Falls - It's All About The Sole!

Online, June 12, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Slip fall accidents still account for 30% of all accidents in the workplace. The issue of slip fall accidents has finally been addressed in the EU by the ratification and implementation of new floor traction laws. They intend to rigorously enforce these new laws, which come into effect this year by constant monitoring of hazardous flooring conditions. They will also emphasise the necessity for employers to provide the correct safety footwear, which suits that particular hazardous environment.

In the past there has been a reluctance to tackle the problem of slip falls because of the ineffective solutions that were available. SHOES FOR CREWS® has finally addressed this problem with the introduction of the most superior slip resistant range of footwear available on the European market today. The range of slip resistant products comprises both steel toe safety (EN345 certified) and standard occupational footwear.

"We are committed to providing solutions for the employer and of course, total protection combined with excellent comfort for the employees".

The phenomenal success of the company's growth is due to the unique SFCIV outsole grid pattern and specialised rubber compound formulation (patent pending), which has resulted in a new slip resistant technology never before seen in the footwear industry. Independent laboratories in Europe such as the Force Institute in Denmark, PFI Institute in Germany and the ITS Laboratory in the UK, have all concluded that SFCIV branded safety footwear provides the most superior slip resistance when compared to all other brands tested in greasy and greasy/wet conditions.

The Health and Safety Laboratory in the UK have also conducted their own independent tests on all SFC® products. Despite having a policy of not endorsing individual products, they are so excited about the contribution which SFC® can make to the prevention of slip falls that they are now recommending employers test trial SHOES FOR CREWS® before considering costly floor installations and treatments.
