WSC 2026 Annual Conference

Ground-Level Safety That Elevates Everything

When it comes to workplace health and safety, one of the most overlooked — yet most impactful — areas is right beneath our feet. Our session will zero in on the floor: a space often taken for granted, yet responsible for billions of dollars in workplace injuries and lost productivity every year. Led by two seasoned experts with over 20 years of combined experience in ergonomic and safety matting — this presentation is designed to be informative, eye-opening, and yes, even a little fun. We’re not here to pitch a product. We’re here to highlight the hidden dangers that lurk on the floors of industrial and commercial facilities, and the simple, practical steps organizations can take to improve safety, productivity, and employee well-being. From real-world examples to hard data sourced from OSHA and other leading authorities, our talk offers valuable insights delivered in a relatable, light-hearted way. Our goal? To raise awareness and equip attendees with the knowledge they need to make smarter decisions when it comes to floor-level safety — just real talk from two guys who know the ground game.
