Default non slip surfaces at platforms

I did a search on this and was surprised it wasn't mentioned before (or maybe it has and has been outdated). The tiling used in some of the IE Stations are downright dangerous when they get wet!! I particularly noticed it this morning in connolly that many people where coming close to slipping on these tiles. ( I did see one person fall) For IE's part a small sign and a few mats were put out but I don't see why a non slip surface is not laid in these areas... This also happens in pearse and a few other stations. Warning notices are put to to say the tiles are slippery but surely IE have a duty of care to make sure that these surfaces are not a safety hazard which they clearly are. I did note that at the (late) arrival of the 2.10 enterprise today they made passengers use an alternate exit from platform two I'm presuming it was because of the slippery floor as this tiled surface was extremely treacherous this morning!! Are there any regulations for this or has anyone even sued IE for falling on this type of surface
