Did you know that slip-resistant floor mats can prevent up to 73.6% of all Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) slip and fall accidents? Actually, I made that number up. But slippery floor surfaces can pose a serious hazard almost anywhere you step, whether you’re knee-deep in the cutthroat world of competitive DDR or walking into your office building on a rainy day.

Floor mats can reduce slippage in two main ways:

1. The mat surface removes and diverts moisture from the bottom of your shoes, keeping your hallways and floors dry and safe to walk.
2. The rubber backing grips the floor so the mat doesn’t slip out from under you.

Look down near any elevator, exit, or entrance at your favorite establishment and there’s a good chance you’ll find a floor mat ready and able to keep you safe and upright. This should tell you that there’s no time to dance to the beat of your own drum when it comes to making your indoor environment clean and slip-free. Facility floor mats provide a quick, budget-friendly and low-maintenance safety solution, so shop around and find the one that’s right for you.
