Anti-slip plates – Characteristics, construction and types
The surface of anti-slip plates deserves special attention. It may be perforated, grooved, embossed or covered with a special anti-slip coating. Such technological solutions increase friction between the worker’s footwear and the ground, minimizing the risk of slipping in the presence of water, oil or other substances found in industrial plants.
Remember! Anti-slip plates are designed to maintain a balance between safety and comfort of use.
The selection of anti-slip plates depends on the specifics of the facility and the working environment. A high-bay warehouse has different requirements than a production hall or a loading ramp. If you are not sure whether the product you have chosen meets your requirements, the 4safety team will help you make a perfectly matched purchase. Contact us now.

Safety standards and certification of anti-slip plates
The use of anti-slip plates in workplaces is regulated by a number of standards and regulations. One of the basic documents is the PN-EN ISO 14122 standard, which concerns machine safety – including work passages, stairs and platforms. The PN-EN 13893 standard is also important, as it defines the minimum requirements for the anti-slip properties of floors. Compliance with these standards is crucial in the context of approving plates for use in industrial environments.
Certification of anti-slip plates is a process confirming that a given product has been tested for compliance with applicable standards. This includes both laboratory tests and performance assessments in conditions close to real ones. Certified anti-slip plates give the entrepreneur confidence that the selected solution effectively minimizes the risk of accidents, supporting the company’s occupational health and safety policy.
Attention! During audits by the National Labour Inspectorate or inspections by insurers, companies must demonstrate that they use products compliant with standards. The lack of such solutions may result in financial consequences and, in the event of accidents, also legal problems.
