Southlake, TX - May 21, 2012. In an effort to better inform commercial-and-household-flooring-product consumers, the ANSI B101 Committee on Slip, Trip and Fall Prevention has recently published a new product labeling standard, ANSI/NFSI B101.5-2012. According to Russell Kendzior, B101 Committee Secretary: “In the past floor covering consumers have had no way of knowing whether or not a particular floor was slippery and thus appropriate for use in high-risk areas such as bathrooms or kitchens; with the new product labeling standard, consumers can now be better informed as to the slip risk at the time of purchase.”

“A growing number of floor covering manufacturers and retailers are stepping up to address the growing slip-and-fall problem and have supported this new labeling system. Consumers only need to look for the Traction label on product packaging to know whether or not the floor they are looking to purchase is appropriate for their use.”
