title: Taking the right steps for success.
abstract: Healthcare estates and facilities teams specifying flooring have a wealth of different elements to consider, from the flooring's visual impact, to how easy it is to keep clean, and how durable it will prove over a period of years, to such key safety aspects as its slip resistance and the degree of colour contrast. HEJ examines some of the key considerations for buyers and users with the help of some of the straightforward and comprehensive guidance available online from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
