Winter ready workplaces

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

STAFF AND visitors might now make it past the ice, but before they come through the front door, they should really wipe their feet

If you have many walkways or outside spaces with foot traffic, you might also consider GRP floor coverings, which are a low-cost way to make steps and walkways instantly safer with a sandpaper-like surface that provides excellent grip in wet and icy conditions.

An outdoor mat from First Mats will help stop them tracking snow, mud and dirt inside: the holes will scrape shoes and boots clean and let the muck fall through onto the ground.

Another mat placed inside will catch the rest of the water and dirt, and we advise getting the biggest mat you can – the bigger it is, the more times its stepped on, and the more muck it can capture. A rubber-backed door mat is highly absorbent and has slip-resistant backing.
