| Abstract |
In food industry premises, falls and slips on the level account for more than 20% of occupational accidents involving a loss in work time. The French national occupational disease insurance for salaried workers (CNAMTS) therefore decided to publish a booklet entitled "Guide to floorcoverings that fulfil the hygiene, safety and suitability criteria for use in food industry facilities". Each year, the CNAMTS also compiles a list of floorcoverings that fulfil the safety and hygiene requirements of users and consumers of food industry products. This document comments and provides links to these publications. |
