Slip and Fall Dangers 

DANGER ZONES

On a rainy day, the entranceway of every store, office building and school becomes a danger zone- for customers, staff and children.

Every Marble floor that's just been mopped, every kitchen in every restaurant or school cafeteria; every bathtub in every hotel, every washroom floor with a few drops of water- all these places and more are legal battlefields.

Every commercial property or public building - and even residential dwellings and bath areas - are faced with this potential liability.
