The recent rise in lawsuits involving chair accidents makes us aware that too often caster safety is taken for granted. Even when a new chair is sold, the casters supplied by the chair manufacturer must be checked to make sure they are correct for the floor surface being used. Many new chairs are equipped with hard wheel casters for use on carpeted surfaces only. Hard wheels skate and slide on hard floor surfaces. For safe rolling on chairmats, and all hard floor surfaces, soft wheel casters should be used.
Soft wheels provide traction and prevent sliding.
