Frequently asked questions
How often should we run this?
Quarterly is industry standard for moderate-risk environments. Monthly in higher-risk settings (foodservice, hospitals, retail with weather exposure). Always after any STF incident.
Should we use this on parking lots and exterior walkways?
Yes — parking lots are the #1 location for slip-trip-fall claims. Inspect for ice, potholes, faded line markings, low light, and curb damage.
