Eliminating slips

A slip or trip in the workplace could be expensive; an employee could be seriously hurt and the company could be in breach of HSE legislation.

Slipping accidents cause several thousand occupational injuries every year, and often the perception by the workforce is that these accidents are inevitable. However, the reality is that simple but practical precautions can eliminate the vast majority of such accidents.

Traditional anti-slip methods, such as stick-down tape, pads, paint and sand, rubber matting, epoxy resin coats, even chicken wire, all wear out very quickly or are slippery when wet, and are unlikely to comply with HSE legislation.

Gripclad, however, provide long-lasting preventable slip solutions for stairs, catwalks, walkways, weighbridges and platforms, as well as excavators, loading shovels etc, giving operators the peace of mind of knowing that they meet all current regulations without the risk of being sued.

Gripclad products are easy to fit and ready in minutes, with virtually no production downtime. Moreover, they are resistant to wear and do not suffer from peeling, de-bonding or rotting, nor do they require repainting.
