We have a single step in our garage leading up into the house and it gets A LOT of traffic. When I was contacted by Handi-Treads to try out one of their non-slip surfaces, I thought why not? The husband comes into the house from this step after he finishes yard work, we carry in groceries by going up this step, the kids go up and down this step with their hands full of stuff they need for school or toys and… well, this is the most popular way we come into the house. The step gets wet A LOT, because we drag in the elements with us or something is spilled. If you have older parents or even grandparents, it is always great to have something installed to prevent slips and falls.
And, when you read these facts about slips and falls, you’ll be glad you installed Handi-Treads:
- Injuries from falls are the most common cause of emergency room visits (Source: National Safety Council)
