Did you know that falls, slips, and trips are the second leading cause of workplace injuries?
But you can reduce the risks with anti-slip flooring solutions. Our flooring engineers can discuss effective ways to allow your employees, customers, and anyone else who uses your facilities to safely and confidently navigate the space.
Whether it’s an industrial facility or a commercial setting , safety is paramount. As professional painting, cleaning and flooring commercial contractors, Painters USA does all we can to make workplaces safer and OSHA compliance easier for our clients—including non-slip flooring solutions.
Slip characteristics of common commercial floor materials
Commercial and industrial needs are quite diverse, which means flooring options are also diverse. Painters USA is capable of installing and maintaining many of the most common commercial and industrial flooring systems. And when it comes to making floors less slick, we have a few tricks up our sleeve, from anti-slip coatings to a number of different abrasive treatments and rough finishes.
Unsealed concrete offers excellent slip resistance, but it’s hard to keep clean and prone to staining and chipping in heavy use areas. Sealed and polished concrete offers good slip resistance with the right coating products and maintenance, plus it looks much better and holds up well.
Epoxy floors are a popular pick and appropriate option for many industries. As a resin-based material, epoxy can be customized for aesthetics and for functional needs, like being anti-slip and skid-resistant. Epoxy can be applied on existing flooring, and it’s easy to maintain. Plus, with fast curing time, downtime is minimized, causing less operational disruption.
Although urethane and polyurethane are often used interchangeably, the chemical makeup is different. Urethane flooring is seamless and durable, especially against chemical spills. Cementitious urethane has cement properties as one of its components, making it highly durable, slip resistant, low maintenance, and suitable in areas prone to temperature changes.
It’s important to remember that visibility is another key factor. Surfaces that are light, bright, and reflective are safer than dark and obscure surfaces. This applies to floors as well as walls and ceilings. Good visibility helps people anticipate and adjust to prevent tripping and slipping, so make it one of your painting requirements when talking to Painters USA.
Advantages of non-slip flooring
- Prevent a leading cause of workplace injuries, one that increases days away from work, medical and workers comp claims, and potential lawsuits.
- Avoid production delays and operational downtime.
- Comply with OSHA safety regulations.
- Add durability in areas with heavy foot and vehicle traffic.
- Enhance resistance to liquids like water, cleaners, and chemicals.
Anti-slip flooring can be used indoors or outdoors and on any ADA accessible surface.
Prepping flooring surface
Before installing new or improving existing floors for non-slip safety, it’s vital to make sure they are expertly cleaned and prepped. We typically grind concrete floors for the best adhesion, and if needed we can do more, like shot blasting damaged concrete to get down to a workable surface. Painters USA can roughen smooth flooring surfaces or smooth rough surfaces, depending on needs.
