| "An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure." In our continuing
efforts to keep you apprised of important safety issues concerning
our products, a new education flyer has been produced.
This flyer, titled Accidents Happen, emphasizes
caster safety and the hazards worn, damaged or improper casters
can cause. CLICK HERE to
view our flyer information.
The
recent rise in lawsuits involving chair accidents makes
us aware that too often caster safety is taken for granted.
Even when a new chair is sold, the casters supplied by the
chair manufacturer must be checked to make sure they are
correct for the floor surface being used. Many new
chairs are equipped with hard wheel casters for use on carpeted
surfaces only. Hard wheels skate and slide on hard
floor surfaces. For safe rolling on chairmats, and
all hard floor surfaces, soft wheel casters should be used.
Soft wheels provide traction and prevent sliding.
Master's goal is to provide the information you need to
understand the cause of caster-related chair accidents,
provide solutions to protect you and your customers from
liability and provide you the avenue to generate greater
sales. Here is your opportunity to pass along invaluable
information to your customer so that they can use it to
protect their companies. Everyone wins. Your
sales staff has a different "door opener" to increase caster
sales and the end user receives important safety knowledge
that affects every one of this employess.
Safety flyers
are available to you, dealer sales, telemarketing staffs,
and for mailings to customers. To place literature
requests, call us at 1-800-323-5513 or Email us at master9200@mastermfgco.com.
