When I started with the company in 1988, to have a safe floor meant an industrial practical look. Not exactly pretty. We worked closely with tile producers and participated in slip-resistant committees around the world. Floor safety is truly a complex issue. Organisations were desperate for a guideline to be written. A slip-resistant value that met with an industry standard, a “can of worms” topic.
Duty of care is paramount, owners and managers are liable. They are responsible for the safety of workers and the public. Extreme cases of neglect resulting in an accident can lead to imprisonment for the owner. It is that serious. It is a huge topic.
Our mission is to keep people safe on their feet, to allow them the right to walk with confidence. Yes, we supply the documentation, and the test results of proof the floor conforms to the relevant safety requirements. Yes, we provide guarantee and safety programs. But, more than anything, we keep it practical and real. The certification of conformity we provide correlates with no more slip accidents!
One of our first cruise clients who had slip accidents daily met our “too good to be true solution” with trepidation. They gave us one restaurant on board to use as a trial. They chose the most treacherous area. After our anti-slip treatment, their monitoring showed that instead of daily accidents, they did not have a single slip accident in the whole year.
With over 40 years of expertise, Slipstop has a rich history of delivering top-notch safety floor solutions to numerous companies across the globe. Our client roster encompasses industrial entities, hospitals, cruise liners, government facilities, resorts, spas, and many others.

Slipstop Cleaning Products
We've developed a selection of specialised cleaning products to maintain the cleanliness and safety of your floors. Each product is meticulously crafted to ensure the utmost level of floor safety.
Slipstop's anti-slip treatments have demonstrated themselves as the most effective and economically efficient remedy for all your slippery floor concerns. Furthermore, research has confirmed that individuals working in environments with slippery floors often experience muscle tension and headaches, which can result in reduced concentration and work absences.
Our anti-slip treatments are not coatings and are completely resistant to peeling. Slipstop treatments establish a microstructure on the surface, ensuring slip resistance remains intact even in the presence of water, grease, and oil.
Our expertly trained team conducts Slipstop treatments. Smaller contracts can be finalised within a matter of hours, and there is no requirement for drying or curing periods. Consequently, there's no need for facility shutdowns, no financial loss, and minimal disruption.
A single treatment can make a floor slip resistant? I was sceptical but Slipstop was just as good as it claimed to be. Cost effective, unobtrusive and great for use indoors and side too. I’m glad I invested in the treatment and wouldn’t hesitate to do the same next time.
