About Our Company 

Safety Direct America is a subsidiary of Sotter Engineering Corporation, which was founded in 1987 and incorporated in 1991.

We supply floor-care products and applications; instruments; and consulting and expert witness services that use technology to improve safety, health and the environment.

Sotter Engineering Corporation is Licensed by the State of California Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. We have been testing flooring slip resistance for more than fifteen years.

In the past, Sotter Engineering has tested flooring and often found that it was slippery when wet. The only option for the property owner was to optimize maintenance, conduct surveillance, give warnings, and implement various precautions to try to prevent the floor from being wet or otherwise lubricated. This did not solve the underlying problem: the floor was still slippery when wet. Some hard flooring can be acid-etched, but this permanently damages the surface, makes it difficult to clean, adversely affects its appearance, and is only a temporary fix.

Safety Direct America now has the capability to treat almost any hard or resilient floor to make it slip-resistant dry or wet. This includes vinyl, terrazzo, ceramic tile, marble, granite, slate, wood, thermoplastic, concrete and linoleum. The new treatment is Non-Slip 21, professionally applied by Safety Direct America. It is suitable for nearly all internal or external floor surfaces in dry and wet conditions, regardless of climate.
