Step with Confidence: How Anti Slip Floor Coating Improves Workplace Safety and Compliance
In the UK, slips, trips, and falls continue to be among the leading causes of workplace injuries, costing companies money and time while also having a significant negative influence on workers’ well-being. The risk is always there, whether it’s a tiled welcome area on a rainy day, a busy loading bay with forklift traffic, or a shiny warehouse floor following a washdown.
At Exterius, we provide specialist anti slip floor coating and safety flooring solutions that not only reduce risk but also help businesses meet strict compliance standards. From non slip commercial flooring in public spaces to anti slip industrial flooring for heavy duty environments, our tailored anti slip services give you peace of mind that every step is a safe one.
Why Slips Are More Than Just an Accident Risk
A slip or trip may seem like a one-off occurrence, but the repercussions might be far-reaching:
- Increased insurance premiums after claims
- HSE investigations and potential fines for non compliance
- Reduced employee morale and productivity
- Damage to your brand reputation, especially in customer-facing environments
Investing in slip-resistant flooring is as much about legal compliance as it is about protecting people, since UK laws like as BS 7976 and HSE requirements define precise standards for floor safety.
The Power of Professional Anti Slip Flooring
Not all flooring solutions are created equal. Off the shelf mats or quick DIY coatings might help temporarily, but they rarely withstand heavy traffic, cleaning chemicals or constant wear. Our commercial safety flooring systems are engineered for performance and longevity, with:
- Pendulum Test Values (PTV) of 55 or higher which far exceed the UK minimum safe standard of 36
- A five year manufacturer backed warranty
- Annual deep cleans included to keep performance at its peak
- Clear, odourless coatings that preserve your floor’s appearance
Where Anti Slip Solutions Make the Biggest Impact
Our anti slip flooring services are used across sectors where floor safety is critical.
- Warehouses & Logistics Hubs: Industrial anti-slip flooring is crucial for loading bays, racking aisles, and washdown facilities due to high foot and forklift activity.
- Hospitality and Retail: Without changing your décor, our discrete non-slip flooring protects both employees and guests in tiled reception rooms and restaurant kitchens.
- Healthcare and Education: Long-lasting, slip-resistant flooring that is simple to clean and maintain keeps hallways, ramps, and entrances safe and in compliance.
- Manufacturing Facilities: High abrasion conditions, spills, and machinery oil are all tolerated by chemically resistant coatings.

Most floors are ready to use within one hour of application, allowing for minimal downtime.
Can the coating be applied to any floor surface?
