HSL introduces 'GRIP' footwear rating system

摘要

Slips and trips continue to be the biggest cause of workplace injuries - so it is really important that footwear being offered to your workforce offers them the right level of slip resistance. The Health & Safety Laboratory (HSL), which is an independent agency of the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), have launched a new footwear rating scheme called 'GRIP'. GRIP has been developed by HSL's Falls Prevention experts to provide free information to health and safety managers so that they can make informed, evidence-based decisions before purchasing resistance footwear.
