Slips – Supermarkets and Shops

Slips in supermarkets and shops are incredibly common. Usually we come across five main causes:-

1. Cleaned floors that haven’t dried properly
2. Spills that haven’t been cleaned up either at all or cleaned properly
3. Other items dropped on the floor
4. Rain water being brought into the store by customers
5. Liquid leaking from fridges or other equipment

Shops must ensure that the premises is safe for both visitors and staff alike and one of the top priorities is making sure that the floor is kept in good repair and is regularly checked to make sure that potential slipping hazards are cleared away quickly, safely and properly.

Supermarkets and other retailers invest huge sums of money on shop designs and layouts with the sole purpose of engaging our senses so it is hardly surprising that so many of us fail to spot liquids or other debris on the floor. With that in mind you should never feel that it is somehow ‘your fault’ if you slip on something that you didn’t see – you should be able to walk around safely, it is as simple as that.
