Statistics from the Consumer Product Safety Commission show that “floors and flooring materials contribute to more than 2 million fall injuries each year” [1]. Many of these injuries are a result of poorly chosen safety materials used for walkways and stairs in industrial settings.<\/p>\n

By choosing the right flooring for an application, you are preventing injuries and creating a safe working surface<\/a>, saving money, and following OSHA guidelines.<\/p>\n

Grip Strut<\/strong>™ Safety Grating<\/a> & Stair Treads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This product is used to create walkways, steel safety flooring<\/a>, and slip resistant stair treads<\/a>. With their open diamond pattern, it allows for liquids and debris to pass through, eliminating the possibility of a puddle or piece of material causing a fall. It also features a serrated surface<\/a> that increases slip protection. The slip resistant stair treads<\/a> have a high strength-to-weight performance for a longer life and safer work environment.<\/p>\n

The Grip Strut™ Grating<\/a> is great for applications that involve heights, outdoor environments, and slippery situations that can benefit from extra grip strength.<\/p>\n
