The scale and impact of slip incidents in the UK are often underestimated. Consider these sobering statistics:

• Over 300,000 individuals require Accident and Emergency treatment annually after a slip.
• These accidents result in more than 1.5 million NHS bed days per year.
• 95% of major slips result in broken bones, according to HSE estimates.
• The average cost of a slip-related insurance claim is approximately £14,000, with some cases exceeding £100,000.
• AXA Insurance alone spends £80 million annually on slip-related claims, making it their most costly type of health and safety claim.
• This suggests the insurance claim costs each year in the UK exceed £1.5bn.
• In the retail sector, a single £14,000 claim can necessitate the sale of 46,667 items to recoup the loss, based on average profit margins.

These figures underscore the urgent need for a more scientific and comprehensive approach to slip safety. Our Slipology method has been proven to reduce slip incidents by 50% or more, offering substantial benefits in terms of human wellbeing and financial savings.
