Non Slip Socks and Falls Prevention

A question that many people have is whether wearing non slip socks with a suit actually saves time in the workplace, is it safe? The answer to these questions and others like them really depends on the type of environment you work in. In a business environment where we deal with cash and/or sensitive documents it is not a good idea to wear any less than standard socks. However, if you are dealing with a non slip flooring such as concrete or tiles then this is a different matter. This is why we have seen an increase in the production of anti-slip products for use in the office and at home.

When it comes to fashion and image as a business it is not always best to ignore them. It is possible to get penalised by your employer for not adhering to dress code even if it means losing your job. If you work in a non-formal environment such as a board room or hotel reception room, the chances are slim that you will be asked to remove your socks unless you are wearing them under a business suit. For these type of jobs the rules are different but there are no guarantees.

If you are working in an office environment where the chances of meeting clients and customers in a poor fashion is high then your socks may be at risk of being ruined. One way of avoiding the risk of slips and falls is to make sure your socks fit well and are properly worn. One way of achieving this is to order your non slip socks well in advance of an important meeting. It is best to place your order for your socks around a year before your meeting so that they are well prepared and will be ready for your visit.
