Visible ice warnings at every hospital exit.


Slip-and-fall claims at hospitals regularly reach six figures. A single $1.1M jury verdict was awarded against a Florida hospital after a visitor fell on a wet floor. IceAlert is a $189 sign that turns blue when surfaces approach freezing, giving staff a visible warning before patients, visitors, and employees walk into icy conditions.

A $64,000 slip-and-fall costs your facility $189 to prevent.


IceAlert® turns blue the moment outdoor surfaces approach freezing — so your team can act, document, and protect every visitor, employee, and resident at every exit. No batteries. No wiring. No subscription.

The Math

Hospitals face the highest per-claim slip-and-fall exposure of any facility type.

Slip-and-fall claims account for 66% of all claims in healthcare settings. A single fall costs a hospital between $7,000 and $30,000 in direct costs, and visitor lawsuits regularly settle in six figures.

66%


Of all healthcare facility claims are slip, trip, and fall incidents.

$7k - $30k


Average direct cost per fall to the hospital, including unreimbursed extended stays and legal expense.

$189


One IceAlert sign. 2-year warranty, 7+ year service life. No batteries, no subscription, no maintenance.

How it works

A visual warning system that doesn't depend on power, people, or apps.

1

Install at every exit


Installs in minutes at ED exits, ambulance bays, visitor entrances, staff doors, and any exit where people transition from a warm interior to potentially icy outdoor surfaces. No electrical, no commissioning.


2

Full blue at 32°F


A bimetallic indicator begins changing from silver to blue at 38°F and is fully blue by 32°F. Visible from any angle, in any light, day or night. Responds to physics, not firmware.


3

A live, visual warning


Staff notices the signal, applies salt or sand, and logs the action. Every freezing event becomes a documented response — exactly what surveyors, carriers, and lawyers want to see.


Where to Install
Mid-size hospitals typically install 8–15 signs. Large campuses install 20+.
Every building exit where a patient, visitor, or employee transitions from a warm interior to an outdoor surface needs a visible freezing warning. Here are the highest-priority locations.
01
Emergency department exits
The highest-traffic, highest-liability exit in your facility. Patients discharged in wheelchairs, families leaving after hours, EMS crews on slick ramps.
02
Ambulance bay & EMS entrance
Paramedics rolling stretchers at 3am. Transport staff moving between vehicles and the building. Surface conditions here change faster than anywhere else on campus.
03
Main visitor entrance
Highest foot traffic. Elderly visitors, patients on crutches, families with children. This is where your liability exposure meets the highest volume of vulnerable pedestrians.
04
Staff entrances & shift change doors
Workers' comp exposure. Nurses and techs arriving for 6am shift changes walk from dark parking lots to building doors. Pre-dawn ice is invisible until you're on it.
05
Loading dock & receiving
Delivery crews with hand trucks on concrete at dawn. Vendor traffic, laundry services, food delivery. A fall here triggers both premises liability and workers' comp questions.
06
Building-to-building walkways
Multi-building campuses have covered and uncovered paths between wings, parking structures, and outpatient buildings. Surface conditions vary within 100 feet.
07
Parking garage exits
Patients and visitors walking from heated garages to ground-level crosswalks. The temperature difference between a heated garage and an exposed sidewalk can be 15°F.
08
Outpatient & clinic entrances
Satellite clinics, rehab centers, and specialist offices. Each entrance is a separate fall-risk door that needs its own visible warning.
Average hospital deployment: 10 signs at $189 each = $1,890. Less than 1% of a single slip-and-fall claim, covering every exit for 10+ years.

Environment of Care

A visible safety measure your Joint Commission surveyor can point to.

Surface Safe

Joint Commission EC.02.06.01 requires hospitals to maintain a safe, functional environment. It's the Joint Commission's equivalent of the OSHA General Duty Clause: any unsafe condition can be cited under this standard, and over 68% of all Joint Commission findings involve at least one Environment of Care standard.


IceAlert gives every hospital exit a visible, always-on indicator that integrates into your environment of care rounds. It shows up during safety walks, demonstrates proactive hazard detection to surveyors, and provides a mechanical failsafe that works during power outages, overnight, and on holidays.


The signs are mechanical. They cannot fail to a software bug, lose a Wi-Fi connection, or run out of battery during the one ice storm that puts a visitor in the ER you're trying to protect.

Joint Commission EC.02.06.01


Safe, functional environment


The hospital establishes and maintains a safe, functional environment. Any unsafe condition will be cited at EC.02.06.01 EP 1. This standard is equivalent to the OSHA General Duty Clause, requiring employers to furnish a place of employment free from recognized hazards.

IceAlert is one component of an environment of care program. It does not satisfy any specific accreditation standard on its own. We recommend pairing installation with documented response protocols, staff training, and regular facility safety rounds.
