Anti-slip
Wet and damp conditions could be disastrous, but not with GRP gratings. They are not only waterproof when used as flooring, but they can also be used on roofs, boats, rigs, warehouse floors, and anywhere else to increase traction underfoot and reduce the risk of a serious accident.
Non-corrosive
Do you work in an environment where harsh chemicals are used? GRP gratings are resistant to a wide pH range as well as a variety of corrosive substances. When you use GRP gratings, you can relax without having to keep an eye out for signs of weakness or damage that could jeopardize the grating's integrity and overall safety.
Non-conductive
Electrical resistance is critical in preventing death or serious injury. Even a 50-volt electrical shock is enough to cause muscle spasms, stop breathing, and prevent the heart from beating normally.
It's a major concern. It's not just the danger of electrical shock. Static electricity, or even the smallest spark, is enough to start a serious fire or explosion.
With such devastating consequences, even if you believe your environment is safe from electrical hazards, why take the chance? Use non-conductive GRP gratings to prevent electrical charge from passing through.
Fire-retardant
Flames and smoke can cause irreparable damage, so anything that can be done to reduce the risk of a fire starting - or spreading - should be done. Another reason GRP gratings are such a safety asset is that they actively reduce fire risk due to their fire-retardant properties.
Lightweight
Okay, so the light weight of GRP gratings may not seem like an obvious safety benefit, but it is.
Check out our blog post titled "How GRP grating can be used" for more information on their extensive versatility and potential applications. But the key here is that even though GRP gratings are incredibly light, their strength isn't compromised. Therefore, you can benefit from a product that is simple to handle and lift, lowering the risk of accidents or injuries during installation, while still using a strong, dependable product.
