Franchise: GLOBAL SAFE - Flooring

Global Safe Technologies NZ, as part of an international network, is an environmentally friendly company providing a range of non slip treatments for almost any internal/external floor surface.

This Franchise is a ground floor opportunity to become part of a dynamic internationally known company, offering customers an extensive range of non slip surface products in New Zealand.

With increasing importance being placed on safety and more stringent building code requirements our company is ideally positioned to take on a greater market share in this growing safety area. As there are currently only a small number of franchises in New Zealand, each franchisee will have a large territory in which to operate. Franchisees will be provided with training and ongoing assistance in their day to day operations.
The only real requirement for a franchisee is their willingness to learn, be dynamic in their approach to sales and be willing to work in with their customer's individual scheduling needs.

Whilst Global Safe Technologies NZ is relatively new in New Zealand, its worldwide network has been working towards creating a safer world since 1989.

Originally started in Canada, Global Safe Technologies NZ, is part of an international Network that has its products and services being used across North America, Europe and Australasia.

Global Safe Technologies NZ provides the solutions to create safe walking surfaces anywhere from international Airports to the individual home.

Our non slip surface solutions are suitable for almost all work and public areas, regardless of whether internal or external, including schools, offices, entrances, factories, floors, stairs, paths, workshops, canteens, restaurants, kitchens, bathrooms, change rooms, swimming pools, vehicles and car parks.

Global Safe Technologies NZ assist our customers meet building and relevant Health and Safety requirements, and continues to assist them on an ongoing basis, at no additional cost, using our industry unique Floor Safety Maintenance Program. Ensuring staff, visitors and clients work and interact in a safe environment.

Dealing with anyone of Global Safe's representatives also means, dealing with a member of the Global Floor Safety Network, spanning three continents. Global Safe's authorized dealers have the backing of a vast array of local and international floor safety experts and external advisors and consultants, to ensure specific situations can be properly attended to.

Global Safe Technologies NZ offer a variety of different products to create safe walking surfaces, such as Safe Grip, Floor Tuff Green and Safe Solution all of which are ideal for both internal and external applications.

SAFE GRIP is a revolutionary cold-vulcanised treatment laid to create slip resistant edges and strips. Safe Grip is more durable and longer wearing than our competitor's products, since the product is adhered directly to the existing surface. This product is not only very tough and hardwearing, but is also hygienic, as bacteria and other contaminants have no where to gather. Safe Grip can be applied in a variety of designs and colours to create attractive designated walkways for both foot and vehicular traffic.

FLOOR TUFF GREEN® is a water-based environmentally friendly polyurethane coating. It is durable, resistant to heat, water, or chemical splashes, and comes in a variety of colours to suit individual needs. Once cured it forms a tough layer in an attractive textured finish, and is suitable for all levels of foot and vehicular traffic. It can also easily be recoated in a different colour should there be a change in décor .

SAFE SOLUTION®creates a non slip surface by creating microscopic channels in hard mineral surfaces, such as tiles, allowing water to easily disburse when the surface is walked on. Once this invisible chemical solution treatment process is completed, it is fully biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

Before any of our treatments are undertaken, our authorized dealers take a slip resistance test reading of the existing surface, and another once the treatment is complete, providing our customers the necessary documentation for their Health and Safety requirements.

In addition, Global Safe offers its customers a free Floor Safety Maintenance Program. This ensures that the customer's staff receives the necessary training and assistance to ensure the product keeps its maximum non slip properties. The program also provides written documentation, which help satisfy ongoing Health & Safety requirements, along with customer advice.

We at Global Safe Technologies NZ have many satisfied customers who have this to say about our products.

"We are extremely happy with the product, we have not had any problems with staff or students falling over since the decks and ramps have been treated with Floor Tuff Green"

"We had been having problems with staff slipping on our metal checker-plate steps and platform prior to being treated with Safe Grip, but are really happy with the treated surface which is now very safe"

"We had been approached by parents and staff concerned about the slippery surface of our decks and ramps, particularly when they became wet. However since the areas have been treated with Floor Tuff Green, we have received extremely positive comments from staff, parents and students alike. We would definitely recommend this product to others"

We opted for the product Safe Solution "and the results are amazing. The steps and entranceway to the Centre are now safe in any conditions, and we now no longer have to worry about the risk to both customers and staff when the surface is wet"
