Anti-slip stair treads

What are anti-slip stair nosings and what properties do they have?

The primary function of anti-slip stair nosings is to increase the safety of stair users. In industrial halls and warehouses, where there is a risk of slipping due to the presence of moisture, oils, dust, or chemical substances, it is high. Therefore, anti-slip stair nosings are equipped with technologies that improve grip – as well as contrast strips that increase the visibility of step edges.

In addition to their practical advantages, anti-slip stair nosings are characterized by aesthetics and ease of installation. They can be installed without interfering with the structure of the stairs. This allows for a quick and economical increase in the level of safety at the facility. Additionally, their abrasion resistance means they retain their anti-slip properties for a long time – even in areas with heavy foot traffic.

Anti-slip stair nosings are not the only thing we have prepared with entrepreneurs in mind. You will also find products such as:

• anti-slip plates,
• oil sorbents,
• galvanized tubs,
• industrial eyewash stations.

Standards and safety requirements for anti-slip stair nosings

Anti-slip nosings are subject to rigorous standards and safety requirements. Regulations define their suitability for the work environment and public spaces. In Poland and the European Union, the basis is PN-EN standards concerning the coefficient of friction, marked with classes from R9 to R13. The higher the class, the better the anti-slip properties of the product. This is of key importance in places exposed to contact with water, oils, or chemical agents.

Health and safety regulations and rules regarding stair marking clearly indicate the need to use solutions that reduce the risk of accidents. This particularly applies to production plants and warehouses, where employees often move with loads – and a slip may have serious health and financial consequences. Certified anti-slip stair nosings therefore protect employees and minimize the risk of legal consequences for the company.

Remember! The use of certified solutions is an investment in the safety and stability of the organization. In the event of an inspection by the National Labour Inspectorate, a company that has implemented appropriate safeguards meets legal requirements and builds the image of a responsible and modern employer.
