When workplace injuries result in a loss of nearly $60 billion each year in the United States, with slips, trips, and falls ranking among the leading causes, it calls for a more critical conversation. John Sotter, co-founder of the American Floor Safety Alliance (AFSA), has built his practice around precisely that. He believes those figures signal a systemic failure in how safety is measured, understood, and enforced.
Sotter says, "The absence of consistent, science-backed testing has left a critical gap that continues to affect businesses and the people who move through them."
