\"Your<\/a>Risk management programs are instrumental in making facilities a safe place for employees and customers alike.\u00a0 Critical to success is the ability to be anticipatory<\/em>, or proactive, in identifying areas of potential risk.\u00a0 The Eagle Mat Blog is proud to present the Your Facility\u2019s Risk Management Plan<\/em>, a four-part article series designed to help business owners identify and reduce the risk associated with different facility areas.<\/p>\n

In Part I<\/a> of our series, the Eagle Mat Blog editorial staff explored the application of safety products to the exterior stairs, ramps, and sidewalks of facility entry points.\u00a0 Today, our staff takes a close look at the next area traversed by both guests and employees:\u00a0 Indoor entry areas.<\/p>\n

Part II:\u00a0 Indoor Entry Areas<\/h2>\n

There are a variety of affordable and effective property management products that add safety to indoor entry areas.\u00a0 The following entryway elements deserve attentive consideration when evaluating the potential for accidents and liability in your facility:<\/p>\n

1. Vestibules:\u00a0 Vestibules are a necessity for facilities that need to go an extra mile in moderating indoor temperatures.\u00a0 These \u201cairlocks\u201d are simply passageways that extend from a building\u2019s exterior entrance to it\u2019s interior entrance.\u00a0 Recessed mats<\/a> are a sleek and resilient addition to vestibules, lying flush with the floor to present a minimal tripping hazard.\u00a0 \u201cRecessed\u201d products are available in both mats and tile varieties, and each may be made of rubber, vinyl, or polypropylene.<\/p>\n

Facilities that experience a high degree of visitor in\/out flow may wish to invest in recessed grill systems.\u00a0 Pedimat<\/a>, Peditred<\/a>, and Pedigrid<\/a> systems are comprised of alternating aluminum and carpet inserts that vigorously clean shoes, trap dirt, and contain excessive liquid moisture.\u00a0 Recessed grill systems may also reduce cleaning costs for facilities in areas where excessive rain or snow accumulation is common.<\/p>\n

2. Lobbies:\u00a0 Lobbies are an ideal location for a carpet entrance mat<\/a>.\u00a0 In part I of our series, we discussed how Rubber Scraper Mats<\/a> are a resilient and weatherproof matting option that are to be used outdoors to \u201csqueegee\u201d dirt and moisture from the shoes of guests.\u00a0 Carpet entrance mats are a perfect complement to outdoor Scraper Mats, providing an elegant place for guests to wipe their feet for a final time before proceeding to reception areas.<\/p>\n

3. Reception Areas:\u00a0 For most facilities, reception areas are the center for customer interactions and services.\u00a0 Logo mats<\/a> are a great addition to the floor spaces in front of check-in desks, service kiosks, and other places where guests congregate.\u00a0 Logo mats create an environment in which business names, logos, and color schemes create a warm experience for guests.\u00a0 When used properly, logo mats may reinforce an organization\u2019s brand name, value proposition, and commitment to service with customers.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about employees!\u00a0 Reception areas are often staffed with customer service representatives, greeters, or other employees who spend long hours on their feet.\u00a0 Anti-fatigue mats<\/a> create a more comfortable environment for employees by softly \u201cflexing\u201d underfoot and stimulating blood flow throughout the body.\u00a0 An ergonomic product, anti-fatigue floor mats improve employee performance by effectively reducing fatigue.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Next Week on the Eagle Mat Blog<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be sure to return to the Eagle Mat Blog next week for Part III of the Your Facility\u2019s Risk Management Plan<\/em>.\u00a0 In our third installment, we will evaluate the risks that arise in production areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"<\/a>
