In any warehouse, shipping centre or commercial facility, ramps and loading docks are among the most hazardous areas on site. These are fast-paced, high-pressure zones where products are moved and transferred to another location. Workers are constantly on the move, and one misstep or slip can lead to massive injuries or expensive operational disruptions.
The good news is that you don’t have to redesign your workplace or warehouse for safety purposes again. You just have to rethink about adding an extra layer of protection on your flooring. That extra layer of protection comes from non-skid epoxy coatings. They are not only risk-free, reliable and slip-resistant but also add design and protection as well.
The Real Problem with Slippery Surfaces
It's not just the water or weather that creates slip hazards. It could be oil drips from machinery, condensation, dust or basic wear and tear of the floor. All loading docks and ramps can have serious wear and tear due to long-time usage. Even the most skilled forklift driver can lose control on a slick ramp. For the workers on foot, one foot on any slippery space, and it can lead to medical urgency and lawsuits.
In many facilities, the flooring looks solid, but it has zero traction. This is especially true for rental ramps and docks where smooth concrete is used and painted for aesthetics. These are serious hazards on the floor and can cause multiple risks.
The Solution: Non-Skid Epoxy
Non-skid epoxy coatings are the ultimate product engineered especially to address the slips and hazards at loading docks and ramps by adding a durable, textured layer that grips underfoot even on wet or oily surfaces. When it is applied on the surface, these coatings create a tough surface that has the power to resist slipping and stands up to heavy loads and heavy foot traffic. The product actually protects underlying material from damage.
