Flooring can be a hazard if you do not observe flooring safety and health issues. The biggest danger with flooring has to do with slips and falls in kitchen and bathrooms.
Hence, avoid using glassy smooth surfaces, such as polished marble tiles set without grout joints. Grout joints are important because the friction generated by grout joints actually helps to make surface slip resistant.
Tips to ensure a slip resistant surface
-use tiles with matte finishes and textures ( for more friction)
-Use slip-resistant padding underneath the area rugs
-use bathroom rug with a non skid backing
-use easy to clean flooring surfaces such as vinyl tiles so as to prevent the growth of molds
