[Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 150, Issue 31 5. Re: those slippery lab floors (Normington Lacy)

[Steve McClain]

I did see many slip and fall injuries in histolabs over the years.

When we built this lab we accounted for that 
and deliberately left the bare concrete rough, 
and professionally painted polyurethane 
of the type used in firehouse floors.

Has held up reasonably well.
No slips or falls in 12 years.
Some stains; 
Would not use in grossing room again however.
Drop a specimen fragment on that floor and you may be searching for an hour. -
