When it comes to pool safety, it’s a topic that is extremely important, regularly talked about and goes far beyond just your supervision. Whenever there are bodies of water it can cause a variety of hazards from slips, falls and potential drownings if you’re not careful. Honestly, even when you are careful these things can happen. The most common barrier that most people think of first is pool fences and nets. You can either choose from an easily removable mesh fence, a more permanent iron fence or a pool net which lies across the top of the swimming pool. Even with these precautions, accidents can happen.

One other major concern, especially with little ones and wet surfaces, is slipping on the tile or cool decking. This can easily be prevented with using Enviro-Safety Grip and we hope this blog post helps to explain why it would be a smart purchase by you.
