Slips, trips, and falls remain one of the most common causes of workplace accidents in the UK, costing businesses both financially and reputationally. For facilities managers and health & safety officers, reducing these risks is a legal responsibility and a practical priority. One of the most effective, long-term solutions is the installation of GRP anti-slip stair treads and anti-slip floor sheets.

Why Choose GRP Anti-Slip Solutions?
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a high-strength composite material designed for durability in demanding environments. Unlike metal or timber, GRP won’t rust, rot, or warp, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Key benefits include:
• Slip resistance: Gritted surfaces provide superior grip, even in wet, oily, or icy conditions.
• Durability: Withstands heavy foot traffic and harsh environments without significant wear.
• Low maintenance: Easy to clean, with no ongoing treatments required.
• Quick installation: Can be fitted directly over existing substrates, minimising downtime.

Where Anti-Slip Stair Treads and Floor Sheets Are Needed
Facilities managers often face challenges in high-risk areas such as:
• External staircases and fire escapes exposed to weather.
• Industrial walkways where spillages are common.
• Public access areas in schools, hospitals, and transport hubs.
• Loading bays and ramps with frequent heavy use.
By installing GRP stair treads and floor sheets in these areas, you provide a cost-effective, long-lasting safety upgrade that ensures compliance with HSE slip-resistance guidelines.

Meeting Compliance and Reducing Liability
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers must take reasonable steps to ensure floors and traffic routes are safe. Failure to do so can lead to enforcement action or compensation claims following accidents.
GRP anti-slip solutions provide an immediate way to demonstrate compliance, reduce liability, and most importantly, protect staff and visitors.

Choosing the Right Product
When specifying anti-slip solutions, consider:
• Size and coverage: Stair treads for individual steps, sheets for larger floor areas.
• Level of grit: Medium grit for general pedestrian traffic; coarse grit for heavy-duty industrial use.
• Colour options: Yellow or contrasting nosings to highlight step edges and improve visibility.
Our range of GRP stair treads and floor sheets are manufactured to the highest standards, offering both safety and durability without compromising on appearance.
