Slip & fall accidents account for over 40% of the total workers�compensation dollars spent in the U.S. foodservice industry. Claims average approximately $3500 per incident. Annually, more than 12,000 people die in slip, trip & fall accidents.* Shoes For Crews�,the leading manufacturer of slip-resistant footwear to the foodservice industry (servicing 9 of the top 10 largest foodservice chains) has assumed a leadership position in research, development, education and program implementation. Every pair features our patented SFC II� Slip-Resistant Sole that grips the microscopic roughness of slippery floor surfaces and helps channel liquids away from under the shoe sole. Offering over 25 styles of slip-resistant footwear, Shoes For Crews� is helping restaurants save money on employee slips and falls through employer-sponsored payroll deduction programs. These voluntary programs allow employees to purchase slip-resistant footwear and have the cost of the shoes deducted from multiple paychecks. It gives the employee the benefit of a payment installment plan, and it offers the restaurant the opportunity to have safer employees.
