Boost to safety
02 August 2013
Anti-slip flooring specialist, Step on Safety, has developed a solution to service riser vents.

Riserdeck is a lightweight riser floor system that uses durable and corrosion-resistant composite materials, with high strength, anti-slip GRP open mesh flooring, and can be supplied with a complementary GRP profiled support system.
The riser opening can be closed off at the same time as it is formed, boosting safety and giving the contractor the opportunity for cost savings. No crash barriers are required, as a safe working platform is already installed, while reduced labour on site lowers the risk of accidents. In addition, composite materials offer environmental benefits through weight savings of up to 50% when compared with traditional materials such as timber and steel.
Step on Safety also offers a fully integrated installation package, using its own specialist site teams, where the riser opening gets closed out straight after it is cast. The company’s skilled approach means that service routes through the risers are taken into account when the support structure is planned, ensuring that when the service holes are simply cut out of the grating, using a jigsaw and with no need for a hot works permit, the contractor is left with a safe working platform that will last as long as the building itself.
Riserdeck composite materials offer a lightweight, non-corrosive, non-magnetic, chemical-resistant, UV stable & RF transparent solution.
