Shopping malls in India serve millions of visitors every year. With polished stone and vitrified tile floors, food courts with inevitable spills, and wet weather bringing in rain water from outside, malls face significant floor safety challenges. Anti-slip treatment is essential for mall management.
The Scale of Foot Traffic in Indian Malls
Major malls in Tier-1 cities like Phoenix Marketcity, Select City Walk, and Lulu Mall receive 50,000-100,000 visitors on peak days. With this volume of foot traffic, even a small slip hazard can result in dozens of incidents. The financial and reputational cost of each incident is significant.
High-Risk Zones in Shopping Malls
Entrance areas (wet from rain), food court floors (constant spills), toilet and washroom areas, escalator landings (water drips from wet shoes), external walkways and parking connections, food court kitchen areas.
Mall Management’s Liability
Shopping mall owners and operators face direct liability for slip-and-fall accidents on their premises. Under Indian consumer protection law, visitors who are injured due to unsafe premises conditions can claim compensation. Comprehensive anti-slip treatment is a key risk mitigation measure.
Anti-Slip Treatment for Food Courts
Food court floors are among the highest-risk areas in any mall — constant spills of water, beverages, sauces, and food. Anti-slip treatment for food court floors, combined with regular cleaning, dramatically reduces the risk of customer and staff falls.
Implementation in Operating Malls
Oxon Technology can apply anti-slip treatment to mall areas in phases, during overnight or early morning hours before mall opening. This minimises disruption to mall operations while systematically improving floor safety throughout the property.
