DON’T SLIP UP WHEN IT COMES TO SAFE INDUSTRIAL FLOORING
1) Ensure you have the correct type of flooring.
Different working environments require different levels of slip resistance. Indoor flooring, though less likely to get wet, should still provide a good level of slip resistance to ensure a safe surface. However, flooring within industrial plants and outdoor flooring, such as used on public walkways and therefore at the mercy of the weather, are prone to becoming wet and slippery. In such cases, a higher level of anti-slip flooring is likely to be required to provide the highest safety for users.
2) How safe are your stairs?
Make sure that you have sturdy and secure handrails. Also, good quality stair tread covers provide an inexpensive solution to the (Read More)
