General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
A wet or contaminated floor can reduce shoe grip and cause a slip. The route and activity also affect the risk.
INRS prioritises frequent, appropriate floor cleaning. Cleaning equipment and instructions should be prepared in advance.
During cleaning or while awaiting removal of a spill, the affected area is marked or signposted until the hazard is removed.
For persistently wet or greasy areas, suitable slip-resistant flooring is needed. A temporary sign does not replace this measure.
Slip-resistant footwear can supplement collective prevention. Its resistance must be suitable for the contamination present.
Identify affected areas with the team and clarify who cleans, who marks hazards and how the measures are maintained.
