Managing Slips and Trips in Bad Weather
Ensuring your platforms are designed with slip hazards in mind
Slips, trips, and falls are a major workplace hazard across all industries, and this risk should be carefully considered especially when working at height.
These accidents can occur due to various factors, including adverse weather conditions like rain or ice making surfaces slippery, oil spills or foreign object debris (FOD) in the working area, or simply using an unsuitable surface material on the platform itself.
Using the right flooring and materials is crucial for preventing these incidents. Therefore, we manufacture access platforms with a variety of surface options to address these hazards. These options include:
Open Mesh GRP
Key Benefits:
- Excellent drainage and slip resistance in all weather as well as off-shore environments.
Textured Buffalo Board
Key Benefits:
- Durable and grippy surface in all weather conditions and perfect for use on platforms which do not require open mesh for drainage / FOD clearance.
Aluminum Checker Plate
Key Benefits:
- Light Weight and offers a moderate slip-resistance. Perfect for indoor applications that require multiple location use or modular build designs.
Choosing the appropriate platform surface based on the specific working environment is essential for ensuring worker safety which is why we offer the solutions to tackle your working environments.
