Smooth and/or worn step edges are one of the main reasons for serious and even fatal falling accidents. However, this significant hazard can be removed with GRP nose covers. Most slipping accidents on steps happen because feet slip at the nose, or leading edge, of the stairs. This is especially true when the step surface has become worn, with the edges rounded.
Glass Reinforced Polymer nose covers are an affordable stair tread solution. Their gritted surface increases safety underfoot, especially in areas that are exposed to ice and liquid. They’re also very easy to install, with no specialised equipment necessary.
By increasing grip, visibility, and traction on your staircase, nose covers reduce the risk of injuries and accidents occurring. They also reduce the need for frequent replacements and repairs. They’ll help with compliance with safety regulations by preventing work-related incidents because of the step-resistance they create on the stairs and by making steps easier to see. This helps you avoid legal liabilities and potential fines.
