The Wessex Program – prevention is better than cure

Were you aware that Slips, Trips and Falls (STF) accidents account for over half of all reported injuries? This costs employers and organisations substantial losses in liability claims every year, and costs individuals personal injury, even death, as a direct result of preventable slip accidents.

If you provide flooring in a public area, then it is your responsibility to ensure it is resistant to slips.

Many STF accidents are preventable: the Wessex program is designed to help with that responsibility, to provide a tailor made solution enabling prevention before a cure becomes necessary.

The Wessex Program involves:

    * The products: the Pendulum skid tester; the Tortus Floor Friction tester
    * Contract floor testing to suit individual requirement
    * Product training
    * Calibration service (including ALL models of TRL type skid resistance testers)
    * Consultancy
    * Global support
