Anti-Slip Products for UK Workplaces & Public Spaces
Slips and trips are among the most common causes of serious workplace injuries in the UK, accounting for a significant proportion of incidents reported to the HSE annually. Investing in quality anti-slip products is both a legal obligation under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and a practical measure that protects staff, visitors, and the public from harm.
Key Risk Areas
Every commercial and industrial environment presents slip hazards — particularly in wet or contaminated conditions. High-risk areas include building entrances and lobbies where rain and mud are tracked in, stairways and steps, loading bays and dock areas exposed to oil and fuel spillage, food production kitchens, swimming pool changing rooms, and outdoor walkways prone to algae and frost.
Anti-Slip Tape & Grip Strips
Self-adhesive anti-slip tape is one of the most versatile and cost-effective solutions. Available in a range of widths, colours, and grit grades, it provides immediate traction on steps, ramps, and flat surfaces, both indoors and outdoors. High-visibility yellow and black variants also serve as hazard markers.
Anti-Slip Matting
Anti-slip rubber and PVC matting provides cushioning and slip resistance for workstations, fatigue zones, and entrance areas. Available in sheet and roll form, it offers coverage of large areas while keeping staff comfortable and safe. Entrance matting with anti-slip backing prevents mats themselves from becoming trip hazards.
Stair Nosings & Treads
Stair nosings with contrasting anti-slip inserts improve visibility and grip at step edges — statistically the most hazardous part of any staircase. Our aluminium and GRP nosings comply with DDA and building regulation requirements for commercial and public sector applications.
Compliance
Our anti-slip products are selected to meet UK health and safety standards. The HSE recommends a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 36 or above for wet areas. Our team can advise on selecting the right product for your specific PTV requirements.
