Non-Slip Floor Coating Application: A Crucial Step in Preventing Slips and Falls
Non-slip floor coatings can enhance safety in high-risk environments. The application of Garon's Mortarthane™ HF, Joint Guard™, and Tigerskin™ products in a 45,000 square foot flavoring production facility, focusing on areas prone to hot water, steam, and constant wet conditions. The flooring solutions were specially chosen to meet the unique challenges of the environment.
Why Non-Slip Flooring Matters
The facility’s renovation required flooring that could resist extreme temperatures, hot steam, and frequent power washing. Mortarthane™ HF, a urethane cement floor resurfacer, was ideal for creating a durable, slip-resistant surface in areas like production and staging rooms. Meanwhile, Joint Guard™ filled cracks and joints to maintain integrity, and Tigerskin™ was used in dry storage areas to minimize dust and improve cleanliness.
Ensuring Safety in Wet Environments
Non-slip coatings are extremely important in preventing accidents in wet environments. Facility managers should select coatings that meet OSHA’s standards while ensuring the surface is easy to clean, especially in food-related industries.
Smart Decisions for Long-Term Safety
Choosing the right non-slip coating isn't just about preventing falls but also maintaining long-term durability and cleanliness. Test areas should be installed before full application to ensure that the selected coating meets safety and cleaning requirements.
Final Thoughts: Preventing Accidents, Protecting People
Investing in quality non-slip coatings, like Mortarthane™ HF, Joint Guard™, and Tigerskin™, is more than a safety measure; it’s a proactive way to protect employees and reduce the risk of costly accidents.
