The Situation:

General Mills is among the world’s largest food producers,  manufacturing some of the worlds favorite brands such as Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, and Cheerios.  General Mills contacted SlipNOT® to provide a solution for a cross over platform over their production line.  The platform allows team members to crossover the production line instead of walking around it.  Previously, the crossover platform was made out of bare stainess steel.  They had tried other non-slip products in the past to help eliminate the slick surface on the platform, but nothing would last.

The Solution:

SlipNOT® provided General Mills with stainless steel plates 1/8” x 23-1/2” x 67-3/4” coated in SlipNOT®’s Grade 2 (Medium) file hard slip resistant surface.  The plates were cut to size to allow installation with ease in the preexisting area.  SlipNOT® Metal Safety Flooring products are NSF registered for use in the food processing industry and have proven to be a durable and long-lasting solution for slip resistance and safety.

The Impact:

In food and beverage facilities, productivity and worker safety are important, as well as cleanliness and sanitation. The stainless steel plates offer the slip resistance and safety General Mills was seeking for their employees, as well as providing a long lasting solution for the cross over platform.  The plates on the platform provide a safe way to cross the production line.
