If you manage a workplace, school, public building or rented property, you are responsible for keeping stairs safe. A question we are often asked is whether anti-slip stair nosings are a legal requirement. The short answer: while the regulations rarely name stair nosings directly, the duties they place on you make slip-resistant, visually contrasting step […]
Many businesses still talk about DDA compliance for stairs. In practice, the Disability Discrimination Act was replaced in Great Britain by the Equality Act 2010, which carries the same goal forward: making buildings usable by disabled people, including those with limited vision. Clear, slip-resistant stair edges are central to that. From the DDA to the […]
Choosing anti-slip flooring is much easier once you understand the two rating systems you will see quoted: Pendulum Test Values (PTV) and R ratings. They measure slip resistance in different ways, so it helps to know what each one tells you. Pendulum Test Value (PTV) The pendulum test is the British Standard method and the […]
Timber and composite decking can turn dangerously slippery in autumn and winter. The good news is that slippery decking is straightforward to fix. Here is how to make yours safe. Why does decking get slippery? The usual culprit is a thin film of algae, moss and damp that builds up on the surface, especially in […]
Slippery floors, ramps and walkways are a common problem in commercial and industrial environments. Water, oil, dust, algae, mud and general wear can all reduce surface grip, especially in busy areas where staff, visitors or contractors are moving throughout the day. For site managers, facilities teams and health and safety officers, the challenge is simple: […]
GRP grating is a widely used industrial flooring and access solution, valued for its strength, durability and resistance to harsh environments. It is commonly found in factories, walkways, platforms, stair treads and external access areas where safety and longevity are essential. In this guide, we explain what GRP grating is, how it is made, and […]
Pipework, cable runs and low-level services are common features in industrial environments, but they often create trip hazards and restrict safe pedestrian movement. GRP step over platforms provide a practical, durable and compliant solution, allowing people to safely cross over services without disruption or costly re-routing. What Is a GRP Step Over Platform? A GRP […]

What is GRP? GRP, short for Glass Reinforced Plastic, is a strong, lightweight, and highly durable composite material made by combining plastic resin with fine glass fibres. You may also hear it referred to as fibreglass. This combination creates a material that is far tougher and longer-lasting than standard plastics, while being corrosion-resistant and easy […]
