According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), floors and flooring materials contribute directly to more than two million fall injuries each year, with associated medical costs of $14 million per year in the U.S. Much of these costs constitute the treatment of broken bones, but a substantial amount is spent on head and traumatic brain injuries. Methodical and well-thought-out controls can help prevent these events from occurring and help employers to avoid these inflating costs.
