Interior Designers, Architects, Engineers, and Contractors aren’t aware of how to Design, Plan, and Build a walkway to reduce the risk and cost of slips, trips, and falls while providing a walkway that can be cleaned better and faster. Building owners, operators, and facility maintenance professionals aren’t aware that they may be increasing the risk of slips and falls with how they clean, could be cleaning better and faster. And building service contractors (BSCs) and are missing out on revenue from offering the increasingly in demand walkway safety services. To provide these key partners in walkway safety with the practical knowledge, training, and products to be a Walkway Safety Professional (WSP) Substratum Group has launched a 3-day course.
