| "In my experience as an orthopedic surgeon I have provided care for hundreds of patients with injuries which were the result of a slip-and-fall event. My patients tell many different stories of how they fell, but the end result is usually the same, a dramatic change in their quality of life. Whether it is the result of a wet floor, inadequate design of a walkway, or just not watching where they were walking, slip and fall injuries have a significant impact on many people's lives each year.I believe that most slips and falls are preventable and have created this company with a commitment to help find a solution though a comprehensive approach based on identifying slip and fall risks through walkway auditing to reduce unnecessary injuries." |

| It all starts with the floor. According to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) half of all slips and falls are the result of an unsafe floor. Therefore, we can potentially cut the growing number of slip and fall injuries in half by simply making floors safer in our society. |
