Footstar Occupational Footwear Supplied in NASCAR Busch Series
Traci Ford, Manager of National Accounts for Footstarworks announces the distribution of Safetrax® footwear for use by NASCAR pit crews - Footstarworks, a division of Footstar Inc., an occupational footwear company offering internet and retail-based slip-resistant footwear solutions, has formally announced the distribution of Safetrax® footwear to NASCAR Busch series pit crews supporting drivers Kenny Wallace and Michael Jordain Jr.
Mira Loma, CA (PRWEB) May 22, 2005 -- Footstarworks announces that Safetrax
brand of slip-resistant shoes have been provided to the pit crews of well-known
Busch series drivers. Pit Crews supporting both Wallace and Jordain Jr. may be
seen wearing Safetrax footwear. The Safetrax logo is also racing around the
track posted above the left rear tire well on the popular #22 car driven by
Kenny Wallace and the #10 car driven by Michael Jordain Jr. Traci Ford, Manager
of National Sales commented, “Safetrax is pleased to support these individuals
as they work in the ever demanding pit support environments. NASCAR Busch series
has some remarkable talent; we cannot say how pleased we are to have the
Safetrax logo on Kenny and Michael Jr.’s cars.”
The Safetrax brand of
slip-resistant footwear was designed as an affordable solution for both
voluntary and mandatory slip-resistant footwear programs. The Safetrax brand of
footwear targets the reduction of annual slip and fall claims by offering
employees the added safety found with ASTMF-1677 certified slip-resistant
outsole technology.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, annual
slip and fall claims account for 15% of total Workers’ Compensation claims,
representing the second leading reportable cause for personal injury.
Approximately 5.3 billion dollars was paid out on occupational injuries in 2000
(Bureau of Labor Statistics, 12/2000 and 12/2001). Inappropriate footwear is
noted as the cause for an estimated 24% of all slip and fall accidents (Bureau
of Labor Statistics, 1/2005).
With Workers’ Compensation costs spiraling
out of control, Footstarworks set out to create an effective and affordable
solution for employers in environments where grease and water pose a hazard to
their employees. Reasonably priced, with styles starting at $24.99, Safetrax
footwear is America’s Best Choice for Slip Resistance, Comfort, and
Safety.
Traci Ford, Manager of National Accounts, commented, “Here’s how
you can save: If you have 100 employees who purchase Safetrax® overshoes at $15,
the total investment would be $1,500. Compare that to the average cost of a slip
and fall claim of $12,000 multiplied by 3, the lowest average number of slip and
fall accidents a year (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1/2005), there is a savings
of $34,500- that is 23 times the initial investment in the Safetrax
program!
“We are extremely pleased to have been
selected as a partner with these NASCAR professionals.”
