Clean, safe and stable flooring surfaces.

2 | WAXIE Sur-Step

• Commitment by management to reduce slips and falls through their approval of floor care products that have been designed to clean while providing safe and stable flooring surfaces throughout the facility.

• Training of all employees to look for and eliminate potential slip and fall hazards.

• Educating the maintenance staff on the products that will be used to help reduce the potential for slip-falls throughout the facility.

• Documentation of daily cleaning procedures, that are performed by trained personnel. Imperative for supporting the proactive work that is being done to keep the facility floors safe.

• Certified products should only be used on all floor surfaces, insuring proper slip-fall prevention, while insuring that the surfaces are clean. Certified products should be used on all floor surfaces to insure proper slip-fall prevention, while also insuring that the surfaces are clean. Certifications: UL 410 Certification for Slip Resistance of Floor Materials; and ANSI A137.1 and ANSI A326.3 Test Method for Measuring Dynamic Coefficient of Friction on Hard Surface Flooring Materials (DCOF Wet and Dry Testing).

• Maintenance procedures should be followed according to plan – Dust mopping frequently, maintaining walk-off mats, proper signage (wet floor, etc.), spot mopping spills and weather related wet hazards immediately, using anti-slip cleaner-treatments.

• Are facilities floor surfaces cleaned on a scheduled basis?

• Is your floor cleaning solution ANSI/UL approved?

• Is the wet slip coefficient factor of the floor surface 0.42 or higher? (Per ANSI requirements)

• Is the maintenance team trained in the proper products and procedures to provide the safest floor surfaces possible?

• Is a regularly scheduled floor inspection performed and proper documentation filed? (ANSI A137.1 Flooring Slip Resistance Testing)

What Helps Prevent Slips and Falls?

Floor Safety - Thoughts to Consider

The American Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that accessible floor and ground surfaces must be stable, firm, and slip resistant.

WAXIE Sur-Step – The First Step To Floor Safety!In order to restore floor surface to its original slip resistant condition, both organic soils (oils, fats and greases) and inorganic soils (alkalines, soaps, carbonates, silicas, minerals, and calciums) must be removed. Inorganic silica and mineral deposits form when water used to clean floor surfaces evaporates and leaves minerals behind in the same way that minerals form on shower doors, windows, toilets and basins.

WAXIE Sur-Step Transform Heavy Duty Cleaner & Anti-Slip Treatment

Formulated for use on porous floors such as quarry and ceramic tile as well as concrete. Used to remove both grease deposits and silica stains, while restoring the floor surface to its original slip-resistant condition. Ideally suited for kitchen floors, industrial applications in manufacturing facilities, restrooms, shower rooms and anywhere else that soiled and slippery floor surfaces can lead to costly slip and fall accidents.

This product complies with ANSI A137.1 and A326.3 Standard for Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF Wet & Dry Testing).

WAXIE Sur-Step Clean & Safe Daily Cleaner & Anti-Slip Treatment

A highly effective concentrated floor surface clearer-treatment, formulated for use on concrete, epoxy, quarry and ceramic tiles, brick, vinyl and other floor surfaces.

Unlike other floor maintenance products, WAXIE Sur-Step Clean & Safe Daily Cleaner & Anti-Slip Treatment is a safe highly effective cleaner and treatment formulated for VCT, Sealed Concrete, Epoxy, Glazed Quarry & Ceramic Tile, Brick and similar surfaces. Unlike other floor maintenance products, CLEAN & SAFE™ deep cleans and treats the floor with slip-reducing agents that increase the floors surface COF (coefficient of friction) which reduces the potential for slip and fall accidents. This concentrated cleaner is ideal for use in Warehouses, Loading Docks, Manufacturing Facilities, Food Processing Plants, Shopping Centers & Malls, Restaurants, Office Buildings, Schools & Universities, and anywhere slips and falls are a potential problem.

This product complies with ANSI A137.1 and A326.3 Standard for Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF Wet & Dry Testing).
