Stair Treads and Plates are specially designed to provide a quick and economical solution to the problem of slippery surfaces, in line with the DDA Act Part III. Indoors or out, Our EdgeGrip™, RungGrip™ and SlipGrip™ products are an ideal solution for steps, walkways, machinery areas or even in swimming pool areas. Safestep will make slippery areas safe, providing a durable anti-slip surface suitable for pedestrian traffic, even heavy pedestrian traffic.


According to the HSE "Over a third of all major injuries reported each year are caused as a result of a slip or trip (the single most common cause of injuries at work). These cost employers over £300 million a year in lost production and other costs".

SlipGrip™ is a fibreglass is anti-slip stair tread that is an ideal solution where there is water, oil and grease present and can be installed using adhesives or screws.

SlipGrip™ is a high quality composite of glass woven matting impregnated with isophthalic polyester resin.

A compound of carbon and silicon grit is added in the final layer of laminate providing a superb slip resistant and hard wearing surface.

The versatility of SlipGrip™ allows it to be applied to almost any surface such as concrete, steel or wood. The fact that it is supplied as a finished product means that it can be walked on straight away thus keeping disruption to a minimum.

EdgeGrip™ has been developed as a cost effective, long-term solution to the requirements as laid down by the Disability Discrimination Act Part III and in particular, the sections relevant to the partially sighted. The Act, in essence, requires that all stairs, accessed by members of the public, should have a contrasting coloured nosing fitted to all step edges and in addition such nosings should provide a slip resistant surface.

EdgeGrip™ is a pre-formed fibreglass profile, constructed by combining polyester resins with fibre reinforcements. The slip resistancy is achieved by the bonding of a carbon and silicone compound to the surface. EdgeGrip™ is available in as an internal and external application, with the external containing a much heavier grit profile.

EdgeGrip™ is supplied in standard 1500mm lengths, larger sizes can be supplied to order. For use on narrower steps, simply cut to the required length using a conventional hacksaw or similar cutting tool. We recommend fixing with a gap adhesive and screws. EdgeGrip™ can be applied to most substrates.

Designed specifically to fit over traditional steel ladder rungs, RungGrip™ enhances ladder safety by enlarging the surface area for foot contact and friction coefficiency with its integral grit surface that is achieved by the bonding of a compound of carbon and silicone grit to the top surface.

Constructed from durable chemical resistant fibreglass, RungGrip™ is capable of withstanding most chemicals and corrosive fluids transferred from the sole of the boot or shoe.

These unique fibreglass slip resistant ladder rung covers are formed to fit over the rungs of fire escapes, service ladders and the majority of all other types of ladders and will provide many years of maintenance free effective service.

Standard Dimensions

RungGrip™, as a standard stock item, measures 25mm x 25mm x 25mm and will fit over the majority of industrial ladder rungs. RungGrip™ can be cut to your required length.

Installation
