An outstanding business opportunity exists for individuals wishing to take advantage of the increasing focus on occupational health and safety and public liability obligations. Legislation compels business owners to ensure that their workplaces are safe for their employees and the public. Residential property owners are also legally responsible for ensuring that their properties do not pose a slip and fall risk to visitors.

Why is the Anti-Slip business thriving?
Trip and fall injuries cost the US $36 billion each year. The National Safety Council reports that there are over 9 million disabling slip/fall injuries every year, or about 25 thousand per day, totaling 95 million lost owrk days. The slip/fall accident is right behind the automobile as the #2 cause of injury and death..
WorkCover statistics show that slip/fall injuries are the No. #2 accident problem in the workplace. It is for reasons like this that Workers Compensation premiums are on the increase, and skyrocket for any business that experiences slip/fall claims. In fact, WorkCover legislation requires an employer to “provide and maintain so far as practicable for employees a working environment that is safe and without risks to health”.
Recent trends have also increased business liability insurance premiums. People are becoming more litigious; they are seeking legal remedies with more frequency, and juries are returning larger verdicts.
We are always reminded of the slip/fall problem when we see the signs “CAUTION, SLIPPERY WHEN WET” and we’ve all experienced or had near slip/fall accidents ourselves. We all know that slippery wet floor surfaces are common.
Universal Grip - the effective solution to this age-old problem represents a profitable business opportunity. A huge multi-million dollar market exists for Universal Grip operators because a multi-million dollar problem exists.
The Size of the Potential Non Slip Market
Universal Grip effectively treats many different types of surfaces, including:
- Ceramic and quarry tiles
- Terrazzo
- Concrete/aggregates
- Marble
- Granite
- Porcelain
Many of these products are imported into Australia therefore statistics on the total market are difficult to determine. However, the estimated size of the ceramic tile market alone is huge.
Total market estimate: 20,000,000 square metres and rising
Locally manufactured : 16% (approx.)
Imported tiles: 84% (approx.)
Floor tiles: 55% of total = 11,000,000 m2 per annum
That would make the amount laid over the last 10 years almost unimaginable. Remember that these numbers don’t include the many square metres of terrazzo, granite and marble floors in place today and newly laid every year. And the cement/concrete floor market is enormous. Smooth finish cement/concrete pathways, driveways, steps, and warehouse and factory floors are a huge market.
Add all these opportunities together to truly appreciate the size of the potential market for Universal Grip.
Why is Universal Grip the world’s #1 anti-slip treatment?
Unlike other anti-slip treatments, Universal Grip is not an etch (which is damaging to the floor surface) and it is not a coating (which can be ineffective and will wear off). Universal Grip increases the co-efficient of friction (decreases the slipperiness) of the floor surface without changing the appearance of the floor surface.
We have thousands of satisfied customers who attest to the amazing results achieved by Universal Grip treatments.
Universal Grip Licensees are in demand because they can protect our community as well as save millions of dollars in litigation for their clients.
Slippery floors are everywhere and all businesses and individuals have a legal obligation to make their premises safe or suffer the financial consequences.
You will have the personal satisfaction of knowing that you have provided a service that “keeps the world on their feet”!
