Patient falls in hospitals are a critical safety concern. In India, hospital-acquired injuries from slip-and-fall accidents result in extended hospital stays, legal liability, and in severe cases, fatalities. Anti-slip treatment for hospital floors is no longer optional — it is a patient safety imperative.
The Scale of the Problem in Indian Hospitals
Hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities have a unique challenge: their floors must be easy to clean and disinfect — but the same smooth, hard surfaces that make cleaning easy create dangerous slip hazards. With patients who are already unwell, elderly visitors, and staff carrying equipment, the risk of a serious fall is ever-present.
High-Risk Areas in Hospitals
The most dangerous areas in a hospital include: patient ward corridors (especially near bathrooms), ICU and operation theatre corridors, emergency room floors, stairwells and ramps, and canteen and kitchen areas. All of these areas see heavy foot traffic combined with frequent wet conditions.
How Anti-Slip Treatment Helps Hospitals
Oxon’s anti-slip treatment penetrates into the hospital floor tiles — whether ceramic, vitrified or stone — and increases the surface friction coefficient to safe levels (R10 or above). The treatment is completely invisible, odourless, and does not interfere with floor cleaning or disinfection protocols.
Compliance with Safety Standards
Indian healthcare facilities are increasingly required to meet floor safety standards. Anti-slip treatment helps hospitals comply with NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) standards and reduces liability in case of patient fall incidents.
Application Without Disrupting Hospital Operations
One of the key advantages of Oxon’s anti-slip treatment is that hospital operations do not need to be shut down. Treatment can be applied section by section, overnight, or during low-traffic periods. The treated floor is ready for use within 30 minutes of treatment completion.
