As the owner or manager of a commercial or industrial business, you know that there are plenty of areas in and around the property that require extra attention to avoid accidents. Probably one of the most dangerous areas is a slippery ramp. Because of its sloped surface, ramps often cause major slips and falls. Certain ramps may only be slippery after rainfall or accidental spills, while others may have a permanent sleek surface. However, no matter the situation, it poses a serious risk for anyone using it. Should someone slip and fall, it can lead to serious injuries, large hospital bills and even lawsuits. To avoid this, you require a solution that is durable and can withstand all weather conditions. Let's look at a few solutions for slippery ramps: When you want to increase the traction on your sloped surfaces, an excellent solution is anti-slip tape for ramps. This type of adhesive safety tape is long-lasting, can withstand any weather condition and is resistant to water and chemicals. Most anti-slip tapes are easy to apply to surfaces and require no maintenance. Anti-skid material for ramps includes rubber mats and PVC rug pads. These may seem like effective solutions, however, there are certain things to keep in mind, for example, a rubber mat or rug isn't always correctly installed and can move with time. This can lead to even bigger slip-and-fall accidents. These mats and rugs also have to be replaced often, which can be expensive in the long run. There are several paint and coating products available on the market, including anti-slip paint for wood ramp and anti-slip paint for metal ramps, that can be used to treat slippery sloped surfaces. These products are designed to be highly durable and to increase traction rapidly.
