Slip and trip prevention stepped up
February 1st 2009

With news that injuries caused by slips, trips and falls cause someone to break or fracture a bone at work every 25 minutes, safety company Arco is supporting the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) 'Shattered Lives' campaign to help businesses drive down the massive personal and financial cost of this type of workplace accident.

In a recent independent survey of slip resistant footwear, Arco was the sole stockist of two high performing brands of safety shoes: its own-brand Arco Safety Stop range and Shoes for Crews (SFC).

SFC has been a leader of the slip resistant footwear industry for several years. To help keep people safe on their feet and minimize the risk of slipping, SFC has developed a superior non-slip technology that works in oily, greasy and icy conditions making it ideal for the toughest environment. Its specially designed diamond shaped grid pattern and cleat depth provide unequalled slip resistance by channelling liquids away from the bottom of the sole.
