Stair treads add grip to help prevent slip and falls<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

You want your workers to be safe \u2014 of course you do. But it isn\u2019t just compassion that makes workplace safety important. Non-fatal workplace injuries hurt your business and your bottom line, too. In fact, it\u2019s been estimated that employers pay out almost $1 billion per week<\/em><\/a> for workers\u2019 compensation costs alone.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not even the whole cost of injury \u2014 there are indirect costs, too, such as training replacement employees, accident investigation, implementation of corrective measures, productivity loss, repairs to damaged equipment and property, and even the costs associated with lowered morale and absenteeism. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) statistics show that there are over 25,000 slip-and-fall injuries in the workplace every day. And even worse, studies show<\/a> that the rate of falls among industrial employees is rising.<\/p>\n

So how can you avoid \u201cfalling\u201d into the same traps as other businesses? The most common locations for falls are doorways, ramps, uneven surfaces, ladders, stairs, and any place prone to wetness or spills. Armed with the knowledge of your most dangerous areas, you can use good housekeeping best practices<\/a> and safety stair treads to stop falls before they happen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have a variety of non-slip products<\/a> to meet your facility\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n

\"non-slip<\/a><\/strong>1. Non-Slip Tapes and Treads<\/h2>\n

Perfect for indoor or outdoor use, these tapes<\/a> have an anti-slip grit surface for traction and can be easily applied with peel-and-stick adhesive backing. They come in a variety of colors, widths, and slogans and can be used on steps, ladders, inclines, ramps, or surfaces that are often wet. We even carry a line of extreme tapes for harsh environments.<\/p>\n

2. Fiberglass Stair Treads<\/h2>\n

For use at the primary point of contact on stairs or landings for maximum pedestrian safety, the strong, mineral-abrasive epoxy grit coating on safety stair treads<\/a> is cost-effective and can be used on wood, concrete, or metal.<\/p>\n

3. Aluminum Stair Nosings and Treads<\/h2>\n

For use on worn steps, new construction, or renovations, these aluminum treads<\/a> are strong enough for industrial use but attractive enough to be used residentially.
