Abstract
A safety mat includes a polygonal planar body having an upper liquid collecting surface, a bottom surface, and several peripheral edges. A plurality of closely spaced truncated projections of uniform height are positioned on the liquid collecting surface. The truncated projections form a high traction travel surface that is raised above any accumulated liquids on the liquid collecting surface. A safety mat assembly can be made in modular fashion by joining several of the safety mats and enclosing them with a liquid retaining border.
