The Situation:

The cold mill supervisor of one of North America’s largest steel mills contacted SlipNOT^® Metal Safety Flooring in order to incorporate safety into various areas throughout their plant.  Steel mills such as this are subject to extremely slick conditions.  The oil that is used to lubricate the steel and machinery in the rolling process eventually covers the floor and everything in the facility.  Near the large rolling components, safety is critical for employee’s well being.  The supervisor was looking for a product that could withstand the harsh conditions of the mill.

The Solution:

The steel producer decided SlipNOT^® was the preeminent choice for the applications at hand. SlipNOT^® provided the steel mill with various sized Grade 3 (Coarse) steel plates.  The coarsest, most durable material was required due to the extremely slippery environment and large volume of oil.  The steel plates were to be used between or next to large machinery, platforms and other areas to provide employees with a safe working and walking surface.

The Impact:

The SlipNOT^® plates were installed and continue to provide sure footing for workers when maneuvering throughout the plant.  SlipNOT^® steel plates retain traction even when submerged in oil.  The maximum protection of SlipNOT^® steel plate increases productivity and allows employees to work as efficiently as possible.  Other non slip products have been used throughout steel mills ensuring safety for employees.  SlipNOT^® steel grating is utilized in areas that need drainage capabilities and a high strength to weight ratio and ladder rungs and stair treads, are used on some of the leading areas for slip and fall accidents, stairs and ladders.  SlipNOT^® provides a wide variety of safety solutions for endless applications.
