Non-slip Substrates guarantee adequate accident prevention. The technical specifications for safety in the workplace are described in the Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV) under German workplace law. This legally mandated occupational safety and health is intended to reduce or avoid these hazards and prevent accidents.
The risk of slipping on different surfaces is also assessed here. ASR A1.5/1.2 includes the Slip resistance classes (R9 to R13), which range in five levels from the lowest to the highest security requirement.
At ORGATEX, you'll find anti-slip tape from the higher slip resistance class R11 (according to DIN EN 16165) up to the highest category R13. While the highest class R13 is used in slaughterhouses, R11 is suitable for staircases or commercial kitchens and entrances, for example.
