| Employers now have to carry out risk assessments in the workplace by either an in-house health and safety officer or a professional risk assessment consultant. The risk assessment identifies any problems, risks and deficiencies in the workplace from anything from fire extinguishers and fire drills to toxic fumes and potential accident hot spots. This act provides guidance, codes of practice and regulations for the employer to carry out the risk assessment as quickly and as easily as possible.Slips and falls can result in serious injury. Prevention of such accidents is very easy with care, attention and by using easy to apply anti slip and non slip tape.Yellow Coarse Traction Tape Snow, ice and mud easily clog and restrict the grip capability of most traction tapes surfaces. Yellow coarse traction tape is coated with a deep aluminium oxide mineral to help prevent clogging. Ideal for use in ski resorts and any area that suffers from icy or muddy conditions.Black Standard Anti Slip TapeBlack standard anti slip tape is the most common and widely used of all the anti slip tapes as it is ideal for any general non slip requirement. This material has a permanent self adhesive, plastic base and is coated with extremely tough, diamond hard aluminium oxide. The anti slip capability (coefficient of friction) exceeds all legal requirements. It prevents slips and trips on stairs, internal walkways and external areas. For muddy or icy areas, a coarse tape should be used. Conformable Anti Skid TapeConformable anti skid tape is a must for all irregular surfaces such as diamond tread plate, 5 bar tread etc. The foil backing of conformable anti skid tape easily conforms to the peaks and valleys turning a previously slippery surface (diamond tread plate can be lethal in wet conditions) into one achieving the highest grip rating. Due to the nature of its purpose, conformable tape is mainly used in the form of highly visible black and yellow stripes to highlight potentially risky areas. Transparent Non Slip TapeA clear grip tape is perfect for applying when you need an unobtrusive yet extremely effective anti slip surface. Most grip tapes use aluminium oxide which is naturally opaque, so to produce perfect clarity, a translucent S2 coating ensures a truly transparent grip tape. Perfect for applications on marble, company logos (create that amazing 3D effect!), terrazzo and all aesthetically appealing areas. Black Yellow Hazard Non Slip FlooringThe black and yellow hazard non slip flooring and tape has a high grip non slip surface but with high visibility stripes. Great for applying onto RVs, trucks, nosings and all safety critical areas. It can often be obtained in different shapes and sizes for should there be a special requirement. |
