Grip Guard Assists Victorian Schools with Floor Safety

Grip Guard is currently assisting a number of Victorian schools in their efforts to ensure that any floor safety concerns are addressed during the school break.

Slips and falls are the single most common reason for visits to the emergency room and, not surprisingly, many of these accidents happen on school grounds.

A proactive approach to floor safety allows schools to reduce the risk of injury from slippery floors or slippery stairs.

Grip Guard has a comprehensive range of floor safety solutions including:

• Grip Guard anti-slip treatment for slippery ceramic, porcelain, granite, terrazzo, concrete and other stone based surfaces creates exceptional wet slip resistance without creating any change in appearance or cleanability. After treatment floors are measured to assess slip resistance to ensure floors are safer for pedestrians.
• DuraGrip non-slip coating for linoleum, vinyl, sealed timber, cork, rubber and other resilient surfaces not only increases the slip resistance of floors but also protects them and keeps them looking great.
• Grip Guard safety stair nosings and stair treads are ideal for maximizing stair safety. ProStep polymeric nosings are ideal for internal stairs while carborundum nosings provide an R-13 slip resistance rating - the highest industry standard.
• Fordex maring grade safety flooring is ideal for outdoor areas such as ramps, walkways, marinas and jetties that require a non-slip floor surface due to wet environments. Its unique diamond shaped pattern diverts water from area creating a safer pedestrian environment.
• UltraGrip, AquaGrip, and ConformaGrip non-slip tapes are an ideal retrofit solution for hard to treat floors. Grip Guard has anti-slip tapes suitable for barefoot areas such as bathrooms, showers, pool areas, and change rooms as well as tapes for unusual substrates such as checkerplate.

Grip Guard offers obligation free floor safety inspections and quotes as well as the latest technical advice regarding the best and most cost effective anti-slip floor solutions available.

Grip Guard operators are available throughout Australia including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Dubbo, Darwin, Townsville, Mackay and selected regional areas as well as New Zealand.
