Health and safety issues can be as varied as workplace environments, and the right anti-slip floor product will depend on which issues arise most commonly in your workplace. In kitchens, for example, it’s important to ensure the safety of chefs who not only spend all day on their feet but are also in danger of slipping on spilled food or liquids. Our slip-resistant kitchen mat is a must-buy for any restaurant or large-scale catering kitchen, with a cross-grip surface, anti-bacterial properties and holes to drain away liquid. Our Hi-Visibility Anti-Slip Treads can be used both inside and outside, and provide a coarse surface to ensure grip and safety even in situations where it has been exposed to grease or liquid. It’s particularly useful in areas of low lighting as it also has a hi-visibility strip and is easy to install.

Importance of Anti Slip Measures for Health and Safety


The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) emphasises that floor surfaces, including staircases, should be suitable for the kind of work activities conducted in specific work environments. People must be able to perform their work and move around safely.

The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 stipulate that floors and staircases be in good condition and not obstructed. These regulations also require that slip, trip and fall hazards are assessed and that employers implement necessary anti-slip measures.
The stated legislation places a duty on employers to:

  • Consider risks to pregnant women, young children and the elderly when performing risk assessments on slips, trips and falls.

  • Assign a health and safety officer to continually evaluate slips, trips and falls hazards and the condition of the implemented safety measures.

  • Ensure that employees are trained and informed on the consequences of slips, trips and falls. This training should include the due care that must be taken to prevent these incidents.

The prevention of slips, trips and falls is a priority for any workplace. Anti-slip products, such as anti-slip paint or an anti-slip floor coating, ensure that floors are safe.

Slips, Trips and Falls Incidents


Slips, trips and falls not only cause serious injuries in the UK but also lead to secondary incidents. These include machinery accidents, falls from heights, and scalding due to slipping on kitchen floors.

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) recorded approximately 693,000 self-reported non-fatal injuries during 2019 and 2020. Employers reported more than 65,400 non-fatal injuries for the same period under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). Experts believe the self-reported incidents to be more accurate.

Statistics indicate that approximately 29% of all work-related injuries in the UK were caused by slips, trips and falls incidents during 2018 and 2019. Injuries associated with these incidents range from minor injuries such as sprains to serious injuries such as fractures, brain damage and death.

Common Slip Risks


Anybody can slip and fall. These incidents occur fast and without warning. Your risk assessments should therefore consider all possible risks and how to mitigate or prevent them.

Spills on floors, whether it be water or other liquids such as oils, are sure to cause slips and falls. Applying anti-slip treatment or installing anti-slip covers in areas where spills and floor contamination are likely can greatly decrease the probability of an occurrence.
Floors with steep inclines can easily lead to a slip or fall. Anti-slip floor tapes allow people to retain a grip on the floor while walking at an incline or decline.
Any staircase presents the potential for a trip, slip or fall. Evaluate the stair nosing and decide on the applicable preventive measure. These include anti-slip stair tread covers, a stair nosing strip, or anti-slip stair nosing.

Anti-slip products are essential for safeguarding any workplace. The implementation of sensible health and safety measures can prevent serious injuries and fatalities.
