Safety Track® Anti-Skid TapeSlip prevention protects against injuries and saves money

Serious injuries caused by slips and falls in the workplace not only affect human lives, they can have a debilitating impact on the financial welfareof the business. Billions of dollars are lost each year due to medical costsfor treatment, recovery and rehabilitation, compensation, lost work days,and litigation.

Here are some startling national statistics:

LOST WORK DAYS PER YEAR: 329,100Source: Occupational Hazards, 2010

AVERAGE PER-INCIDENT COST: $13,000Source: Occupational Hazards, 2010

AVOIDABLE SLIP ACCIDENTS Reported Per Year: 17,229Source: National Safety Council, 2010

Percentage of Slip-Related WORKER'S COMPENSATIONCLAIMS: 85%Source: Business Wire, 2010

Annual SLIP-RELATED COSTS for Medical Expenses, LostWork Days, Litigation: over $70BSource: National Safety Council, 2010

Why is slip guarding important?In addition to injury prevention, slip guarding is also required bycertain OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), andADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22(a)(1) states:“All places of employment, passageways, storerooms, and servicerooms shall be kept clean and orderly and in a sanitary condition.”

ADA 28 CFR Part 36 Appendix A Section 4.5.1 States:“Ground and floor surfaces along accessible routes and in accessiblerooms and spaces including floors, walks, ramps, stairs, and curbramps, shall be stable, firm, and slip-resistant.”

* A solvent-based or di-limonelene cleaner such as Lawson’s Bonafide or Quick Peel should be used.** A detergent or degreasing cleaner such as Lawson’s Keynote should be used*** A zinc phosphate primer such as Lawson’s Green Phosphate Primer should be used to treat bare wood or pourous substrates.

Surface Preparation Instructions

1. Remove chipped, cracked or peeled paint prior to application of Anti-Slip Tape.

2. Remove loose residue from surface.

3. Make sure surface is clean, dry, smooth, and above the minimum application temperature of 50°F (10°C). Repair or replace any broken or damaged surface.

4. Any floor sealer or finish (wax) should be removed prior to application. (Fig. 1)

5. Refer to the Surface Preparation Table (Table V) for recommendations of proper cleaning products to be used in surface preparation. (Fig. 2)

6. After surface has dried, mask area and prime surface if necessary. (Fig. 3)

Note: All porous and non-ferrous substrates need to be primed.

7. After primer has dried, follow the application instructions to ensure product has its best chances at a long service life.

Priming Instructions

1. Prime clean, dry surfaces with a high-quality zinc-oxide primer (like Lawson’s Green Phosphate Primer) especially when: a) bare and untreated concrete is present. b) coated, painted or porous concrete surfaces are excessively rough. c) other porous surfaces such as wood is the substrate.

2. Properly clean the surface using the methods found in the Surface Preparation Recommendations Table. (Ref. Table V)

3. Mask the area around location of tread. (Fig. 4) Maintain at least ½” from the edges of the substrate.

4. Apply primer using the spray can, or use a brush to apply a thin coat of primer where tread is to be placed. Note: if the surface is porous a second coat of primer may be necessary. (Fig. 5)

5. Allow primed area to dry thoroughly (no evidence of tackiness should be present) before applying tread material.

Application Instructions

1. Individual pieces should be spaced a minimum of ½” apart and a maximum of 2” apart. Maintain ½”spacing from edges of substrate.

2. Round the corners of any treads cut from a roll. This will prevent the corners from coming up during service. (Fig. 6)

3. Peel Protective liner back about 2” from one end and position piece on surface. (Fig. 7) IMPORTANT: Minimize touching adhesive with fingers.

4. Continue to remove liner. Press firmly in place as liner is removed.

5. For small pieces, peel liner off piece. Holding piece by its edges, curve it gently with adhesive side out. Align with the middle of the target surface and press down.

Application Instructions (cont.)

6. Tap the tread using a rubber mallet or soft faced hammer around the perimeter and center of tread. This will ensure good contact with the substrate. (Fig. 8)

Edge Sealing Instructions

1. Using a rubber mallet or soft faced hammer, tap the edges of the tread down to make sure the edges are properly adhered to the substrate.(Fig. 8)

2. Using a high quality, solvent based sealing compound such as Lawson’s Clearmaster, draw an 1/8” bead around the tread. IMPORTANT: Do not use RTV Silicone to seal the edges. RTV will not adhere properly and will come up during service. (Fig. 9)

3. Using a body filler spreader, or stiff card spread the sealant down feathering the edges flush with the substrate and tread. (Fig. 10)

4. Allow edge sealant to cure to tack free before allowing foot traffic to the area.

Maintenance Instructions

1. Keep free of dirt and other residue that might impair functionality.

2. Treads should be brushed or swept regularly.

3. Resilient tapes and treads should be mopped regularly.
