Property owners are failing to use the appropriate flooring paint and/or not maintaining their floors clean causing unnecessary injuries to pedestrians. Property owners are responsible for keeping common areas safe for the public which includes making sure walkways are slip-resistant and are properly kept up with.

Unfortunately, property owners are more concerned about the aesthetics of their walkway surfaces rather than the safety of the people walking on those surfaces. What tends to happen is that rather than hiring a professional, property owners have their maintenance personnel apply coats of paints to hide any chipped paint or dirt and they either don’t know or don’t bother to mix the paint with a slip resistant additive.

Painted concrete walkways need slip resistant additives or some kind of texture to create a safe walking surface. When the surface is concrete, it’s best not to paint it because with each coat of paint, the concrete becomes less absorbent.

As a result, water or any type of liquid will sit on the surface and create a hazardous condition for pedestrians. Sometimes when there’s excessive moisture on walkways, mold can grow making the walkway even more slippery.
