What is Safe Grip?
Safe Grip is a transparent anti slip solution, which has a very low odour, that can be applied to a variety of surfaces radically improving the slip resistance when wet.
The HSE states "Floors need to have enough grip for pedestrians to walk safely, but what does this mean? Grip is measured as ‘Coefficient of Friction’. For safe pedestrian walking on the level this should be 0.36 or higher." It also says " it’s no good testing a clean and dry floor then expecting it to be slip resistant in the wet."
The workplace regulations 1992 requires floor surfaces to not expose any person to a safety risk.
Safe Grip Anti-Slip treatment reduces the risk and dangers of slips and falls and the resultant potential of personal injury. Health and Safety Executive figures for 2001/02 show that 10,118 non-fatal slip/trip/fall accidents occurred.
- Safe Grip Anti-Slip Treatment is not a coating that will wear off, it doesn’t require time to cure and if required can be applied during operational hours – even in areas with high foot traffic such as retail stores.
- Suitable for stone surfaces including ceramic, quarry tile, terrazzo, granite, marble, concrete, slate, porcelain etc.Suitable for stone surfaces including ceramic, quarry tile, terrazzo, granite, marble, concrete, slate, porcelain etc.
- Also great for enameled baths or shower trays.
- Clear solution that will not noticeably alter the colour of the surface.
- Increases co-efficient of friction on floor surfaces to meet and exceed minimum UK Slip Resistance group Guidelines Issue 3 requirements for the floor surface when wet using the Pendulum test.
- Lasts for years – not a coating that will wear off.
- Can be put into service immediately.
- Easy to maintain - all you have to do is keep the floor clean.
