Protecting your business with anti-slip products is vital, says SP Group

Anti-slip products are commonly used in workplaces to protect staff from accidents

One of the UK's most popular providers of maintenance solutions, SP Group, is warning business owners of the risks of an unsafe workplace, pointing to a growing number of injuries in the workplace as evidence that more needs to be done to combat hazardous work environments.

Millions of people each year are suffering from work-related injuries and illnesses. That's a number that SP Group, a seller of anti-slip products and safety items, says should worry employers.

With over 1 million people in 2012 falling victim to a work-related illness, 172 workers killed at work, over 100,000 worker injuries reported under RIDDOR and 27 million working days missed because of work-related injury or illness, SP Group believes that not enough is being done to tackle a growing number of work related hazards.

A representative for the company said, "Each year there are hundreds of thousands of workers who report injury at work under RIDDOR. There's an obvious risk here on two fronts. The first is that your employees could be in danger of suffering from a trip or fall because of unsafe working conditions, the other is that if that were to happen then your business could be adversely affected.

"The health of your workers is paramount but the reputation and financial stability of your business is also very important, and both of those could be jeopardised if somebody has an accident in your workplace."

The solution, says SP Group, is safety equipment in the workplace to keep your employees safe.

"The good news is that it's not all doom and gloom. There are many solutions out there, most of them simple, to keep your business and your employees protected. The SP Group website is a great place to start when you're shopping for safety solutions for your business."

One of the most prominent dangers in the workplace is slips, trips and falls. SP Group sells a large number of anti-slip products, from paints to nosings and treads.

"Our website features a staggeringly selection of high quality safety products, including anti-slip items, to make your workplace as safe as it can be for employees. We have everything from anti-slip grating to anti-slip flooring and specialist paints.

"Making your workplace safer doesn't have to be a costly venture - and with SP Group it isn't."
