Anti-slip floor solutions Melbourne with Grip Guard

Slippery floors are one of the biggest causes of accidents in the home and workplace. It is essential that property and business owners ensure that all pedestrian surfaces have the required anti-slip properties required to ensure the safety of those who access the premises.

Outdoor areas such as footpaths, entry areas, ramps, driveways, patios and pool surrounds often become extremely slippery after a rain or heavy dew. These surfaces may be quite safe when dry however, often when they become wet, they lose their anti-slip properties.

Indoor areas can also be a problem in areas such as foyers, restrooms, kitchens, laundries and other areas where water can be tracked, dripped or splashed onto the floor.

Grip Guard anti-slip floor safety treatment has been designed to raise the slip resistance of floor surfaces - especially when they are wet. Australian Standards require more than a 'slippery when wet' sign to protect pedestrians. These signs are simply an admission that management is aware that they have a problem. If it is known that an area becomes slippery when it is wet, property owners are required by law to rectify the situation by installing an anti-slip treatment.

If property owners are concerned that the slip resistance of a particular area or areas is not adequate, they should arrange to have on-site slip resistance testing of their floors. If the floors are found to be unsafe, Grip Guard representatives can provide expert advice regarding the appropriate anti-slip floor safety initiatives for the area.

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