Reminder to winter event hosts: Keep walkways safe to avoid costly injuries
TORONTO, Dec. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Individuals, municipalities and venues planning to host New Year's Eve gatherings this weekend or other events this winter are reminded that costly "slip and fall" injuries on walkways and driveways can easily be avoided with the appropriate traction solution.
"Whether hosting or attending an event this winter, it's very risky without the appropriate non-toxic solution for traction over ice and snow on walkways and driveways," said Earth Innovations CEO Mark Watson.
Past legal cases have shown that court-ordered sums awarded for pain and suffering from a slip and fall accident can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition, a claim from the same case could also be made for additional damage such as loss of income and future care costs.
Individuals, municipalities and venues looking to protect guests with the best non-toxic solution should use EcoTraction - popular with a following of conscious consumers across North America. Harmless to animals, the non-toxic volcanic granules create an immediate sandpaper effect when spread and will not damage walkways, vegetation, or footwear.
Watson added: "Weather can easily change quickly and it's important to be prepared throughout the winter. EcoTraction is the perfect non-toxic solution for any host who cares about their guests, the environment, and minimizing the risk of injury on ice and snow."
EcoTraction is available online at Amazon.com and retailers across North America listed at EcoTraction.com. Earth Innovations has manufactured and marketed the product since 2005.
