Less slippy flooring
December 1st 2007 Polysafe Ultima, an extra tough
sheet vinyl safety flooring from
Polyflor has been installed in the
kitchen at Wrightington Hospital in
Wigan. Specially developed for
areas of heavy traffic where
enhanced slip resistance is
paramount, Polysafe Ultima meets
HSE guidelines by achieving a
sustainable =40 slip resistance (RRL
Pendulum wet test – Four- S/Slider
96 rubber). It also achieves a
surface roughness reading of Rz
=70µm, recommended to cope
with spills of olive oil, cooking
stock and similar high viscosity
contaminants in food preparation
areas and kitchens.
The product, installed by St
Helens-based CMC Flooring, has
been independently tested and
results demonstrate that it inhibits
the growth of MRSA. An effective
cleaning regime is, however, the
most important defence against
infection.
The product conforms to
EN13845, the European Norm for
safety flooring. More articles from Polyflor Ltd: |
