\"\"Let\u2019s face it: there are a lot of ways to get hurt at a public pool. But there are also a lot of ways as a business you can prevent your customers and visitors from getting injured. So, before summer gets here, let\u2019s review how to keep everyone safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

For locker room areas, we recommend Rubber Drainage Mats<\/span><\/a>. These no-nonsense mats funnel away dirt and water, yet have a low profile so as not to impede door motion. They\u2019re made of 100% nitrile rubber and are skid-resistant and made to last. You can use them indoor or outdoor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where there\u2019s even more water\u2014if that\u2019s possible\u2014we recommend the Vinyl Sponge Mats<\/span><\/a>. These are really soft on the feet, and they come with two different types of backing depending on their intended use and location. It\u2019s important that mats at pools are comfortable to walk on because the last thing you want is someone walking around the mat which is placed there for added traction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any particularly slippery area would benefit from Safety Grid Pool Matting<\/span><\/a>, which is an even grippier mat to prevent falls. This is a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) mat that is super sturdy and long-wearing. Some of these mats above have subtle differences, so don\u2019t be shy about calling us for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you have some good mats in place, there are still other things you can do to improve the safety around your pool. <\/span><\/p>\n
