Health and safety compliance at pools and spas

Keeping your customers safe is a legal requirement in many industries, so while private pool owners might leave their slip hazards standing, business owners can’t make that mistake. Non slip matting around the edge of a pool is required by the building code – make sure you know your compliance requirements. Children running and jumping from the side of a swimming pool is extremely dangerous without adequate slip protection.

Anti slip mats for pool areas drain as well as stick

Gripping to the floor and creating friction underfoot is the obvious safety feature of non slip matting, but draining water is equally as important. Pooled water on the surface of a mat reduces its effectiveness by adding slipperiness to the floor. Excessive wear is also likely to reduce the lifespan of the mat, so proper drainage is important for longevity too.

Non slip shower mats for the elderly

Although commercial pools have an obvious need for non slip mats, they are also used in the residences of the elderly. Older adults have less balance than others, and a slip can be extremely dangerous. Aged care homes and private bathrooms should feature non slip shower mats for their elderly residences. In some industries, it is also the law to provide adequate safety measures.
