Anti-Slip Stair Treads for Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities

Protect Employees and Reduce Risk with Anti-Slip Stair Treads for Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities

Let's examine why anti-slip or non-slip stair treads are essential in reducing risks in industrial and manufacturing spaces.

Industrial and manufacturing environments demand safe stairways to protect employees from slip-and-fall accidents. In factories, warehouses, distribution centers, and food processing plants, stairs endure constant foot traffic, exposure to liquids, oils, and debris, as well as the impact of workers wearing heavy-duty industrial footwear. These conditions make slips and falls a leading safety hazard—and one of the most common OSHA violations.

Investing in anti-slip stair treads is essential. Solutions from ComposiGrip™ and Ecoglo® help safety managers protect workers, maintain OSHA compliance, and reduce operational risks.

Why Stair Safety Matters in Industrial Environments

• High Foot Traffic: Multiple employees take frequent trips up and down stairs each shift.
• Slippery Surfaces: Oils, lubricants, and water create hazardous conditions.
• Industrial Footwear: Steel-toed boots and heavy shoes increase the potential for slips.
• Low Lighting or Emergency Situations: Poor visibility can compound risks during power outages or evacuations.
• Regulatory Compliance: OSHA requires the use of proper slip-resistant surfaces in industrial workplaces.

For factories, warehouses, distribution centers, and food processing plants, durable stair safety solutions protect employees and reduce liability.

Ecoglo®: Photoluminescent & Glow-in-the-Dark Safety

Visibility is critical in industrial settings, especially during power outages or emergency evacuations. Ecoglo® photoluminescent and glow-in-the-dark products enhance stair safety while meeting code requirements.

Photoluminescent Stair Nosing

• Clearly marks stair edges in factories and warehouses.
• Charges from ambient light, glowing when power is lost.
• No batteries or wiring required.

Glow-in-the-Dark Stair Strips

• Combine traction and visibility in one product.
• Durable enough for heavy industrial footwear and pallet jacks.
• Excellent for slippery or low-light environments.

Handrail Markings

• Glow-in-the-dark strips improve stair navigation during emergencies.
• Code-compliant for industrial workplaces.
• Provide reassurance and guidance during evacuations.

Together, ComposiGrip™ and Ecoglo® create a comprehensive stair safety system, providing anti-slip protection for daily operations and enhanced visibility during emergencies.

Industrial Applications: Where Safety Matters Most

Factories

• High-density stair use between floors and mezzanines.
• ComposiGrip™ stair covers improve traction; Ecoglo® nosing ensures code compliance.

Warehouses

• Wide stairways with pallet jacks and forklifts.
• Handrail markings guide employees during emergencies.
• Reduces risk of slips in high-volume storage areas.

Distribution Centers

• Constant employee movement, including heavy footwear.
• Step strips and glow-in-the-dark markings enhance safety and visibility.
• Minimizes workplace accidents and operational disruptions.

Food Processing Plants

• Surfaces often wet from cleaning or processing.
• Anti-slip treads prevent slips on wet or oily stairs.
• Glow-in-the-dark strips improve emergency evacuation routes.

FAQ: Anti-Slip Stair Treads in Industrial Spaces

Q1: Why are anti-slip stair treads critical in industrial workplaces?

A: They reduce slips and falls in factories, warehouses, distribution centers, and food processing plants, protecting employees and meeting OSHA requirements.

Q2: Can ComposiGrip™ covers be installed over existing industrial stairs?

A: Yes, they are designed for retrofits over concrete, metal, or industrial stair surfaces.

Q3: How do Ecoglo® glow-in-the-dark products work?

A: They absorb natural or artificial light and glow during power outages or low-light conditions—no electricity required.

Q4: Are these solutions OSHA-compliant?

A: Yes, both ComposiGrip™ and Ecoglo® products meet or exceed OSHA, ANSI, and industrial safety standards.

Q5: Are these products low-maintenance?

A: Absolutely. They are built to withstand heavy industrial use with minimal upkeep.

Composite Anti‑Slip Fibreglass‑Reinforced Tread: Excellent for chemical, moisture, and weather exposure, lower weight, non-conductive. Good where steel might corrode or where electrical safety matters.

fibreglass-reinforced composite, high traction, weather/chemical resistant, works on wood, concrete, steel gratings. Good for interiors & exteriors.

What to Prioritize in Industrial Anti-Slip Stair Treads

Make sure any stair treads you consider have many of these features:

High Coefficient of Friction (CoF), wet & dry: Floors get wet, oily, etc. You want grit, perforations, and raised tread patterns.

Strong, durable material: Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, fibreglass reinforced composites, hard rubber. Material must resist corrosion and abrasion.

Good drainage / open areas: Grated or perforated types that allow water, oils, and debris to drain away so the surface doesn’t pool.

Visible, safety nosing / color contrast: For visibility and safety code compliance. Yellow or bright contrast at nosing helps avoid trips.

Resistant to chemicals & cleaning agents: Industrial cleaning solutions, oils, acids, salts (if exterior) will degrade some materials.

Load capacity / structural strength: If the stair is supporting a heavy weight (people + tools + maybe carts), the metal or composite must hold up.

Ease of maintenance/cleaning: Should be easy to clean, with no places that trap grime too badly. Material that won’t wear down fast under power washing or scrubbing.

Good installation options: Secure fastening (bolts, welding, clips) plus possibly adhesives, especially for retrofits.

Industrial stair safety is essential—not optional. With ComposiGrip™ anti-slip treads and Ecoglo® photoluminescent solutions, you can protect employees, reduce liability, and maintain regulatory compliance across factories, warehouses, distribution centers, and food processing plants.
