Another New England winter is on its way, bringing snow, ice, sleet — and lots of salt and sand to keep slipping and sliding to a minimum. If you don’t want your customers tracking everything into your premises, you need door mats.
Surprisingly, many businesses overlook the importance of mats, but they’re the first line of protection for any business. Any time it rains or snows, your customers bring dirt and water into your premises on their shoes. A door mat — also called an “entry mat,” helps remove that dirt and water, keeping your floors cleaner and drier. And, surveys show that 42% of consumers judge the cleanliness of a business based on its floors.
Prevent Slips And Falls with a Commercial Mat Service
But, mats aren’t just for keeping your floors looking good. They’re also an essential safety measure for preventing slips and falls. Without mats, wet shoes quickly turn your floors into a safety hazard. Whether a fall results in a few bruises or a trip to the ER, it can leave you open to personal injury suits or workman’s compensation claims. In fact, one-third of all at-work injuries are the result of slips and falls!
Slip-and-fall lawsuits are a favorite of lawsuits and litigation. Lawyers are only too happy to offer their services for free and take a percentage of the payout. Why? Because they’re highly likely to win — especially if they can prove that you were negligent. You can protect yourself by providing clean, dry, high-quality mats at all your entry points. Without them, you might end up paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
