Do you know the number one type of accident among people visiting a golf course?

Slips, Trips and Falls!

In a presentation given at a PGA conference, a Travelers Insurance study titled, “Safety on the Fairways”, was referenced. In the study, 33% of visitors involved in an accident on a golf course attributed their misfortune to slips, trips and falls. Think the mishaps are reserved for visitors?

Think again!

The number two type of accident for employees was… you guessed it – Slips, Trips and Falls! Seeing a trend here?

Safety on golf courses is just as important for visitors as it is course employees. PEM Golf Course Matting provides a safe surface to cut down on the risk of accidents. The unique looping design and textured surface provide a slip-resistant non-skid surface for golfers and employees alike.  The porous construction allows water to pass through, keeping the surface dry and allowing for moisture to evaporate. This is key for applications on wooden bridges and steps, where algae growth is a concern.

Think your existing surfaces are skid-free?  Have you checked them lately? Many surfaces become slippery over time due to the wear-and-tear of regular use. Even gritty concrete can become worn and slick – especially when wet! Carefully review your existing surfaces under all conditions to determine your greatest risks for slips, trips and falls.

PEM Golf Course Matting is the perfect solution for cart paths, stairs, ramps, bridges and more. No matter the application – PEM will keep you safely grounded.

PEM Kennel Matting at Loeb-A-Rosa Kennels

We absolutely LOVE getting feedback from PEM’s valued customers. Who better to speak to the quality and benefits of PEM, than a respected business that’s used it in their daily operations for so many years!

Loeb-A-Rosa Kennels, an Owensville, Missouri kennel owned by Louise and John Loeb, has been using PEM’s kennel matting for over four years. This family run facility has been awarded a Blue Ribbon Kennel Award by the Missouri Department of Agriculture. They have a true passion for their dogs and take great pride in their operation.

Loeb-A-Rosa Kennels’ first PEM application was typical of our commercial customers using the slip resistant flooring indoors.

“I first used them in front of my sinks and grooming tables for my own comfort! The mats cut easily using a standard razor knife, so I could custom fit them in any place,” explains Louise.

The soft construction kept Louise comfortable while the porous design allowed water to pass through, ensuring Louise would be safe in front of the sinks.

It didn’t take long before the Loeb’s decided their dogs’ comfort would also be maximized with PEM’s Kennel Matting.  The matting provides a safe, comfortable and dry surface for the dogs.

“When I started using them in the dog runs and bed areas, I found how easy they were to clean,” said Louise. “It was nice to know your products have Antimicrobial in the plastic formula, protecting against the growth of bacteria and mold. This is very important in my nursery protecting my newborn puppies.”

As a Missouri and USDA Licensed facility, Loeb-A-Rosa must follow specific compliance requirements, insuring a high quality of care for the animals. In accordance with compliance standards, kennels in Missouri are required to provide a “solid resting surface” for all animals. PEM Kennel Matting was awarded this distinction by the Missouri Department of Agriculture, making it an ideal application for top-quality breeding facilities.

“I am Happy to know using your mats as ‘Solid Resting Surface’ for my dogs keeps me in compliance with my Missouri State Inspectors. Thanks for a wonderful product!”

PEM Kennel Flooring has many valuable applications – from providing a slip-resistant surface to keep employees safe and comfortable to creating a comfortable, dry environment for dogs. Interested in learning more about PEM Solid Resting Surface for Kennel Applications?  Contact us today!
