Reduce the risk of falls on stairs.
Stairs are a high-risk area for slips, trips and falls, especially when stair treads are wet, worn, smooth or poorly marked.
The primary cause of accidents is the lack of friction on the edge of the tread nose due to poor stair grip.
The 90 degrees angle is where footing must be regained once out of balance. Often, this is also where you slip. It can have huge consequences if you have an accident on a set of stairs.
Safe traffic on stairs requires:
- High friction on stair treads and stair nosing
- Clear contrast marking on the step edge
- Good lighning throughout the stair area
- Solid handrails with safe grip
- Well-maintained walking surfaces
To mitigate the risk, it’s useful to remember these tips:
- Do not run up and down stairs – walk at a normal pace
- Use the handrail – always keep one hand on the rail for balance
- Make sure to have a clear line of sight when you carry something
- Keep it clean

Risk Area Solutions
Real Safety helps reduce the risk of falls on stairs with durable anti-slip step covers, step nosing, stair tread solutions made from high-quality FRP materials. These solutions are designed to improve stair grip, increase visibility and make existing stairs safer without replacing the full structure.
In addition, our stair covers can be installed on concrete, steel, aluminium, wood, tiles, checker plate and grating. They provide strong slip-resistant surface and are suitable for demanding environments where water, oil, dirt, and heavy foot traffic can create unsafe stair conditions. For improved visibility, we often recommend a contrasting colour on the stair nosing. Our most popular colour combination is a black tread with a yellow nose, but any RAL colour can be made to order.
With more than 15 years of experience supplying anti-slip safety solutions to offshore, oil and gas, nuclear plant, industrial, marine and public environments, Real safety provides practical stair safety solutions built for long-term performance.
Case study: BPGIC – Fujairah Oil Industry Zone II
BPGIC want to prevent all types of personal incidents and see the statistics as critical risks. Therefore, they sought an innovative, safe and sustainable solution for installing anti-slip prevention upgrades within their tank storage facility.
