According to the National Floor Safety Institute, falls result in over eight million hospital emergency room visits every year. Slip and fall accidents, in particular, account for one million of those visits. The majority of fatal falls occur in individuals over the age of 75 and at ground level in homes. With the severe consequences of slip and fall accidents, property owners and managers must ensure hazards are resolved as quickly as possible. In the event a dangerous situation cannot be remedied in a timely fashion, visitors need to be notified of the problem so they can avoid it altogether.
