The Math Is Simple: Mat Rental Pays for Itself
One slip-and-fall incident at your facility can cost more than your entire mat rental program for the next 5–10 years. Here’s the comparison your operations manager needs to see:
| Scenario | Annual Cost | Risk Coverage |
| Annual mat rental program (mid-size facility) | $1,800–$3,600 | Weekly service + OSHA docs |
| One slip-and-fall accident (medical only) | $12,000+ | None — liability is yours |
| One slip-and-fall lawsuit defense | $50,000+ | None — liability is yours |
| Break-even point on rental program | 3–4 months | Full coverage after week 1 |
