Preventing Slip and Fall Accidents in Texas

• Make sure your flooring should be free from debris, holes, uneven slants, and cracks.  
• Fix, replace, or install handrails on all staircases. Each should have materials that support an adult human body that’s rigidly attached to the building or the ground with weight-bearing bolts.
• Clean up spills promptly and avoid using or pouring liquids of any kind near entrances, walkways, or exits. 
• Forbid employees from wearing shoes with a slippery sole or high heel. 
• Place non-slip rubber mats or non-hooked carpets at entrances. Ensure they don’t slip, move, or bunch.
• Ensure all lightbulbs work and considering installing more lights around the property to add more light.

There are many more things you might want to consider when it comes to protecting your business interests. A proper commercial insurance policy can provide you with the peace of mind you need to focus on building and expanding your business.
