The Situation:

Marathon Oil Corporation is a leader in the oil and gas industry with operations across the world.  The American based oil and natural gas company operates four segments of business including: explorations and production, oil and mining, integrated gas and refining, and marketing and transportation.  Marathon focuses on business values that include social responsibility and environmentally safe practices that help benefit people worldwide.  Marathon partners with other countries to help promote business growth and health practices.  To continue to promote safety within the company, Marathon was seeking a replacement for slippery ladders in a production facility.  The ladder rungs would often become slippery from water, oil and lubricants and become extremely hazardous to employees.

The Solution:

Marathon contacted SlipNOT® Metal Safety Flooring for a solution to their existing slippery ladder rungs. SlipNOT® provided slip resistant steel ladder rung covers as the optimal solution for the application.  Steel was the best choice because it is an extremely durable and long lasting material; the steel ladder rungs covers withstand harsh working environments and remain slip resistant against heat, oil and water.  Slip resistant steel ladder rung covers also require minimal maintenance while remaining slip resistant and will provide years of slip resistant protection.  Steel ladder rungs can be easily welded into place and come pre fabricated in stock sizes or can be cut to specific lengths.  The steel ladder rungs covers easily retrofitted over the existing slippery ladder rungs at the facility to provide Marathon with a quick and permanent slip resistant solution.

The Impact:

SlipNOT® slip resistant steel ladder rung covers provided Marathon with an efficient and permanent solution to improve safety on existing ladders.  Slip resistant ladder rungs are extremely durable and long lasting and will help Marathon workers utilizing the ladders work safely and efficiently.
