Areas that routinely experience liquid spills require a good anti-slip coating. The surface should be rough enough to prevent liquid hydroplaning between floor and footwear. Proper lighting will ensure that employees can see hazards and will provide the illumination needed for employees with poor eyesight. All aisles should be at least 22 inches wide to eliminate the need to turn sideways when navigating the area. All floor mats should have beveled edges to prevent catching.
Redirect fluid drains to prevent drainage onto walkways.
Floor dams around equipment will prevent leakage from becoming a slipping hazard. Placing liquid-absorbing mats at building entrances and wet process areas will prevent the tracking of liquid. Look at the processes that create liquid spills, material accumulation in walkways, and damage to floors. Place waste containers where they can be easily accessed. Materials for cleanup must be easily accessible near potential sources of spills.
