What Is Safety Flooring?
Safety flooring is commercial or industrial flooring equipped with specialised features to maximise the safety of your workshop, warehouse, garage, or factory, as well as public sector environments. Different techniques can be implemented, including anti-slip, anti-static, heat, and chemical-resistant properties, and health and safety floor markings to reinforce warnings.
Why Is Safe Flooring Important?
- Safe flooring is vital to ensure your employees’ health and safety, particularly in more dangerous, challenging or hazardous environments.
- It is also important to ensure the longevity and condition of your machinery, which may be subjected to accidents or damage.
- Safe flooring enables an efficient working environment, particularly in high-traffic areas.
How Can RESPOL Help You To Ensure Optimal Workplace Safety?
RESPOL is an award-winning contractor of an extensive range of commercial and industrial flooring for various industries and sectors. With over 30 years of experience and expertise in the flooring industry and an ISO9001:2015 accreditation, you can rely on us to provide you with a high-performance flooring solution that ensures optimal workplace safety.
First things first, we’d suggest a durable, resilient floor coating, whether that may be our concrete densifier flooring or air bearing flooring. Both are heavy-duty options with different benefits. To ensure a smooth, seamless floor, concrete densifiers, which are chemical hardeners, spread across the floor to fill in any gaps or holes. This ensures safety by preventing trip hazards and ensuring spillages won’t be absorbed. Air-bearing floors are ideal for facilities that utilise large amounts of heavy machinery and equipment, as air flotation technology is used to create a cushion-like layer between the heavy objects and your floor. This helps prevent any damage to your floor caused by impact and also makes transporting machinery much safer and easier.
Of course, there is also the industry favourite, epoxy resin flooring, which is renowned for its strength, longevity and durability. At RESPOL, we take this type of flooring to the next level by combining epoxy resins with a variety of co-reactants, including but not limited to chemical or heat-resistance, anti-static and anti-slip properties. This allows your flooring to be better suited to the nature of your operations and the safety hazards that come with it! Safety warnings or risky areas can also be highlighted with health and safety floor markings, implemented using heavy-duty epoxy resin floor paint. Whatever your requirements and the environment you are operating in, RESPOL will help ensure optimal workplace safety!
