Reducing Slips and Falls with Commercial Floor Mats: A Smart Investment for Your Business

Slips, trips, and falls remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries, and they often happen in the most preventable ways. Wet floors, high-traffic areas, and poorly maintained entryways create safety hazards that can result in serious injuries, costly claims, and lost productivity.

In 2023, the National Safety Council estimates the total cost of work-related injuries to be $161.5 billion in one year, with an average cost of $39,000 per medically consulted injury.

Fortunately, your business can take a simple, proactive step to reduce those risks: invest in high-quality commercial floor mats.

Wildman helps businesses improve safety and cleanliness with professionally serviced floor mat solutions designed for real-world conditions. From entryways to production floors, our mats protect your people and your property every day.

Slips And Falls Happen Year-Round

These accidents don’t just happen in winter weather. Common causes include:

• Wet or dirty floors from rain, snow, or spills
• Dust and debris were tracked in from outside
• Smooth floor surfaces with low traction
• Long hours of standing in one spot without anti-fatigue support

Businesses across every industry, from manufacturing to retail, deal with these challenges daily. Without a consistent strategy in place, the risk only increases over time.

Commercial Floor Mats Make A Difference

Commercial-grade mats do more than just trap dirt and moisture; they play a critical role in keeping your floors safe and functional. Wildman offers a variety of mat options to keep your team upright and on task.

Entrance & Facility Mats

Trap dirt, water, and debris at the door before it reaches the interior floors. This keeps your space cleaner and greatly reduces the chance of slips caused by tracked-in moisture.

Entrance and facility mats also keep your flooring in great condition, as they save your floors from normal wear and tear of everyday foot traffic.

Scraper Mats

Designed for heavy-duty use in industrial or outdoor areas, scraper mats remove caked-on dirt and grit from footwear before employees walk further into the building.

Anti-Fatigue Mats

Perfect for workstations or areas where employees stand for long periods. These mats cushion the feet, reduce strain on joints, and help prevent fatigue-related accidents.

Logo And Message Mats

Enhance safety while reinforcing your brand! You can customize mats to display welcome messages, safety reminders, or your company logo, adding both function and professionalism to your space.

Why Professional Mat Services Matter

Buying mats is only part of the solution. Keeping them clean and functional over time requires consistent maintenance. That’s where Wildman steps in.

Every mat you place is a small investment with a big impact. Clean, dry floors improve safety, create a more welcoming environment for guests, and reduce wear and tear on your facility.
