Accidents Happen!

Don't Let Incorrect Casters
Topple Your Safety Program
 

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 employees.

Few things are more basic to the workplace than the office chair.   And for an office safety program to be effective, few things are more important than chair and caster safety.  Caster wheels that are incorrect for the floor surface can pose the risk of serious injury.  Even brand new chairs can cause problems as they are routinely equipped with hard wheel casters suitable for carpeting floors.  For chairs to roll safely, use hard wheels on carpeted floors, and soft wheels on chairmats and hard floor surfaces.  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 had floor surfaces, soft wheel casters should be used.  Soft wheels provide traction and prevent sliding.  Protect yourself and your company against rising insurance costs by equipping your office chairs with quality, American-made Casters.
