Operators can sometimes track coolant on the soles of their shoes outside the machine. This posed a potential slip/trip/fall hazard on all operators. I was able to track down a spare pallet of snap together mats with a considerable amount of grip on them. I installed the new mats and that area is much safer now for operators.
