"Nu-Safe provides a unique comprehensive floor safety program focused on our partners' needs and an exceptional, quality product."
The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) awarded Papa John’s International (Papa John’s) its 2008 Spirit Award as a company that has demonstrated a significant reduction in slip-and-fall claims.
The award was presented to Mr. David Orberson, on behalf of the Corporate Risk Management Department, Papa John’s International.
“Papa John's is very proud to be recognized for our safety measures to protect team members from work place injury,” Mr Orberson said. “People are Priority #1 at Papa John's, and this is just one of the ways we can reduce work comp incidents and keep our restaurants a safe place to work.”
"The Spirit Award is a fitting recognition of Papa John's commitment and efforts toward this important safety issue,” said Patricia Fisher, Founder and CEO of Nu-Safe Floor Solutions, Inc. “Eleven years ago, the Company began working with Nu-Safe to develop a walkway safety program to reduce slip-and-fall incidents involving its customers and team members. All Corporate locations receive a floor treatment process that makes the floors less slippery when wet. Afterwards the floor’s slip resistance level is measured, evaluated and assessed every six months, which provides demonstrable evidence and documentation as to the effectiveness of its approach. In 2007, Papa John’s continued to see a reduction in claim losses due to slips and falls. "
Papa John’s International, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, operates over 3,000 company-owned and franchised restaurants worldwide. For more information on the Company, log on to http://www.papajohns.com/index.htm.

Washington, D.C. – New Mexico, Wisconsin and Vermont have the highest death rates from accidental falls among people over the age of 65, according to new data being released by the National Safety Council at a congressional briefing on this escalating crisis.
“Falls among people 65 and older is now the leading cause of injury deaths,” said Bill O’Connell, executive director of Government Affairs for the National Safety Council. “Furthermore, the mortality rate from falls for older Americans has increased 39 percent between 1999 and 2005. We must find a way to combat this growing public health concern before it is too late.”
