3M™ Safety-Walk™ Slip-Resistant Materials Presentation

Guidelines and Specifications for Slip Resistance

• OSHA guidelines* on walking and working surfaces call

for slip-resistant floor surfaces in work areas that are generally slippery because of wet, oily or dirty operations

• ADA standardsł call for slip resistance on floor and

ground surfaces including ramps

• ground surfaces including ramps
• Military Performance Specification MIL-C-24667C

– Covers non-skid systems, coatings, and coverings for application to weather decks, flight decks, and hangar decks of air capable amphibious aviation and aviation ships

* Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Occupational Safety and Health Standards 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D. Walking-Working Surfaces

ł 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design 28CFR Part 36 Subpart D 302.1 & 405.4

Why is Slip-Resistance Important to your Manufacturing Customers?

• Helps people feel more secure while operating or using

their manufactured good or equipment

• Enhances traction for firm footing
• 3M™ Safety-Walk™ Slip-Resistant material pieces or

shapes die cut to fit manufactured goods and equipment

• shapes die cut to fit manufactured goods and equipment

give a professional look and added functionality

• Enhance a products’ grip or help prevent sliding
• Slip-resistant material can help enhance the safety of

parts used for climbing, gripping, pressing, pushing, pulling, stepping and lifting
