Accidents while not using non slip stair treads are no laughing matter. And, considering that these happen from an altitude above your workplace, damage and injury can certainly be cause for concern.
So, what to do about reducing accidents on stairs. First of all, we need to find out if the parent step requires total changeout. A good alternative is something like FRP Grating Step Treads. These are a great option in areas where there maybe excessive corroding issues commonly found in salt mines, chemical processing in mines, marine environments including sea jetty’s, ocean quays, break water infrastructure and so on.
While a complete tread changeout is the optimum, this may not be required, or may work out to be too expensive. You can consider renovating the edges with Fibreglass or Metal Anti-Slip Stair Nosing’s to safety requirements as the next best option.
This can be done with a range of AMCO’s non slip stair treads such as Stainless Steel, Powder coated Zincalume, galvanized steel, fiberglass stairnosings and our little (now famous) renovating money saver, the U-Tred sometimes spelt UTred . Most commonly known for saving literally thousands of dollars on older type infrastructure where renovating is the only choice, plus now being specified for new infrastructure on steps stairs in dry or nominally dry area environments.
U-Tred has not that long ago been upgraded with proven grip and high visibility ease of installation. U-TRED® is a robust steel anti slip stair nosing product, galvanised and powder coated Safety Yellow, this will not crack or release hazardous splinters inflicting bodily harm as can occur with Fibreglass Non Slip Stair Treads.
Once a decision is made on which effective anti slip stair nosing to use, the different options on quality coatings and installations have to be considered. For options on installing and making a decision on quality please click here.
