Pig Grippy High-Traffic Adhesive Backed Floor Mat Reduces Slip & Fall Claims

New Pig Corporation, the brand that helps workplaces manage leaks, drips and spills to create safer, cleaner more productive environments, offers the Grippy High-Traffic Floor Mat to the Grocery industry to help cut liability claims and costs dramatically and improve floor safety and maintenance, company officials say. Grippy Mat is the only floor mat with a specially formulated, full coverage adhesive backing that lays flat and stays flat to prevent the mat from being a trip hazard, officials add, saying that unlike standard carpeted floor mats, Grippy Mat won’t bunch up, flip over or shift around. NFSI Certified as a high traction surface, it is designed to reduce slip-and-fall claims by as much as 90% when used as part of a floor safety program. Additionally, it saves over 50% annually in rental floor mat program costs, officials add. “Placing this mat in wet, slippery or fall-prone areas helps eliminate trip, slip and fall accidents,” says Tim McMillen, New Pig product manager. “Nearly every week we have new grocery customers replacing rented or purchased carpeted floor mats with Grippy Mat because it stays put no matter what, saves thousands of dollars in litigation costs and speeds up floor maintenance. For instance, it can be swept, damp mopped, vacuumed or wet vac’d without moving, and stays in place during routine floor scrubbing or buffing." Constructed with a durable absorbent top layer, a middle liquid proof barrier layer to keep liquids from passing through to the floor, and a repositionable adhesive layer, Grippy Mat keeps floors dry and safe. Engineered fibers absorb and evenly distribute moisture throughout the mat to prevent surface puddles and minimize tracking. The ultra-thin material can be custom cut to any length or shape desired, which creates a neater, more attractive store environment, officials add. The mat is designed for preventing slip-and fall-accidents throughout the grocery store, including produce, floral, prepared foods, ice stations, and other water-intensive or flooring material transition areas. Grippy Mat adheres tightly to nearly all floor surfaces, but peels up easily, making mat relocation or replacement quick and easy, add officials. Tough enough for heavy duty walk-on and wheeled traffic, it won’t rip, shred or fray.
