Floor safety is a significant contributor to workplace accidents, and depending on the industry, slips, trips and calls can lead to serious injuries - even death. UK health and safety legislation places a duty of care on employers to ensure the safety of their workforce, making floor safety a legal obligation as well as a moral one. Anti-slip tapes and strips can help employers to take the necessary steps towards better floor safety in the form of a cost-effective solution.
At Safety Buyer, we understand the importance of preventing workplace accidents, and we’re here to guide you through the benefits of these simple yet effective safety enhancements.
Anti-slip tapes and strips are designed to provide extra traction on surfaces where there is a potential for slips and falls. Available in various grades, materials, and dimensions, they can be applied to a range of surfaces to enhance grip. These products are not only durable but are designed to be resistant to wear and tear, and they require minimal effort to install and maintain.
Anti-slip tape and strips are straightforward and effective solutions to basic floor safety hazards. They serve as an economical alternative to expensive floor modifications, delivering reliable safety measures without a hefty price tag.
Non-slip tape and strip products are designed for quick application, featuring a strong adhesive backing that adheres firmly to a clean surface. This means you can improve the safety of your premises on short notice.
The versatility of anti-slip tapes and strips means they are suitable for a wide array of settings, from the moisture-prone floors of a swimming pool area to the high-traffic aisles of a warehouse. They come in a range of colours and patterns that can serve dual purposes - not only improving safety but also aiding in organisational zoning and navigation.
Designed to endure, anti-slip tape and strips can resist wear, maintaining their anti-slip properties even in harsh conditions, including exposure to water and chemical substances. Maintenance is just as convenient, requiring only regular cleaning to preserve their effectiveness, thereby ensuring a lasting grip.
Anti-slip tapes and strips are a versatile addition to any risk management plan. Their applications span across various industries and environments, adapting to the unique challenges each setting presents.
In the industrial sector, adhesive anti-slip tape and strips are often applied in factories and warehouses, where the movement of heavy machinery and the spillage of liquids are common. Here, they mark out safe pathways and highlight steps or changes in elevation that might otherwise be a trip hazard.
These tapes and strips can also be used in various temporary settings. During events, construction, or in any situation where temporary safety solutions are needed, anti-slip products can be quickly applied and removed, usually without leaving residue, making them an ideal solution for short-term applications.
Installing anti-slip tapes and strips is straightforward. It requires a clean and dry surface for optimal adhesion. We'll walk you through the process of preparing your floors, applying the product, and ensuring it maintains its grip over time. Regular maintenance checks to make sure tape is not peeling in a way that could create a trip hazard, and that it is replaced when it needs to be, can significantly extend the lifespan of your anti-slip solutions.
If the deck is already damp / saturated and moisture can reach the adhesive from below the surface the tape wouldn't be suitable. Timber needs to be solid, dry, pretty smooth and ideally sealed / painted to get the best use from a AST. Otherwise a GRP decking strip would be a better option.
Choosing the appropriate anti-slip product involves assessing your workplace's specific requirements, including foot traffic volume and environmental conditions. If you are employing staff to work in any of the sectors above, you should consider both the obvious and less visible hazards that could be alleviated with the use of anti-slip tape and strips.
