We know a thing or two about skateboarding at Jessup Manufacturing. Specifically how to help boarders prevent a nasty slip and fall with the use of Jessup’s Griptape. We also know skateboarding is an extreme action sport that often gets misclassified as street sport geared towards rebellious, baggy-pants wearing young boys. However, the more you understand this sport, the more you will realize just how much hard work and structure goes into the art of skateboarding. You’ll also begin to realize it is much more mainstream then you know- hence the USA Skateboarding joining the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) as of June 2018 and now being responsible for the selection, training, and fielding of U.S. national teams that compete in the Olympic Games and other sanctioned team events. With the new addition of skateboarding to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games, no one is certain how the games will play out, but we are looking forward to watching the screen to find out. From how the athletes were picked to be on the USA team, to what to expect and how they are judged— we are giving you insight on the top things to know about skateboarding going into Tokyo Olympics 2020.

How was the USA Olympic Skateboarding Team picked (and who are they)?

Back in March, 16 men and women were announced to join the first-ever skateboarding national team. USA Skateboarding— the U.S. governing body for skateboarding— partnered with Toyota and Nike to create this team. The 16 skaters named made the national team based on performance in international level events throughout the previous year.

The team consists of 8 male and 8 female competitors, and they will all be split evenly between the park and street events during qualifying for Tokyo 2020. However, they still need to qualify through their Street League or Park Series rankings so there are still no guarantees any of these skaters will compete at the Olympics. On top of that, only a maximum of 12 American athletes can qualify for the Olympics so expect the list below to be adjusted slightly come June 2020.

The Qualifying 16 Skateboarders Include:                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Men's Street: Chris Joslin, Louie Lopez, Nyjah Huston & Jagger Eaton                                                                                                                                                                                 

Men's Park: Zion Wright, Alex Sorgente, Tom Schaar & Tristan Rennie                                                                                                                                                                               

Women's Street: Lacey Baker, Alexis Sablone, Jenn Soto & Mariah Duran                                                                                                                                                                         

Women's Park: Jordyn Barratt, Nicole Hause, Bryce Wettstein & Brighton Zeuner

What should you expect in the 2020 Olympic skateboarding competition?                                                                                                                       

Skateboarding has numerous disciplines within it, but the 2020 Olympic Games have chosen to focus on two of them—street and park skateboarding.

• Street skateboarding is held on a course that is similar to (no surprise) a street. Curbs, benches, stairs with handrails and varying slope heights will take over the space for skateboarding to compete in. The street skateboarders love to get air in order to flip in their sets, so expect to see a lot of “ollies” (a trick where the rider and board leap into the air without the use of the rider's hands) and skateboard deck flips (when done well and with a quality skateboard deck grip tape, these flips make it seem like the boarder’s feet are attached to the deck of the board). Street skaters will show off deck slides and trunk grinds (the trunk is the parts connecting the wheels and bearings to the deck of the skateboard) right on the street courses curbs and handrails.
• Park skateboarding: For the Tokyo 2020 Olympics that will be using a hollowed-out course featuring a series of complicated curves – some resembling large dishes and dome-shaped bowls for their park competition. Competitors in park skateboarding are looking to get massive height, mid-air suspension, and speed. Viewers can also expect skateboarders to showcase their skills in maneuvering the deck of the skateboard. Skateboard grip tape is also an important piece of the puzzle for these skateboarders because without it their feet can easily shift which can cause a slip and fall accident.

The Olympic skateboarders will compete in Tokyo’s Aomi Urban Sports Venue for both street and park skateboarding. The competition will take place throughout the entire duration of the Olympic Games, from July 24 to August 9, 2020.

How are the skateboarders being judged in the Olympics?

Judges for skateboarding will score the athletes on a number of different factors based around speed, difficulty, originality, timing, stability and the overall flow of the performance. Specifically, the ability to suspend in mid-air is one of the most important skills judges look out for throughout the entire skateboarding competitions.

In street skateboarding, each competitor performs individually and utilizes each section to demonstrate a range of skills, or ‘tricks’. Skilled riders make difficult tricks like ollies, parallels and other dynamic, multi-dimensional flips appear easy, but they all require a high level of technique. Judging takes into account such factors as the degree of difficulty of the tricks, height, speed, originality, execution and the composition of moves, in order to award an overall mark.

The park course contains large “bowls” with steep curves from the center outward, offering the upper part of the incline either vertical or almost vertical. Skateboarders are judged on a variety of items, including their immense heights achieved by climbing the curves and difficulty of their mid-air tricks.

Skateboarders will be able to vary their tricks more in the park when the kicker ramp is used, which allows them to gain height. Difficulty and originality points depends on a variety of factors, including:

1. If and how they change their stance on the board
2. Whether the rider is grabbing the deck of their skateboard with a hand when performing mid-air tricks
3. Which part of the skateboard deck is grabbed?
4. Which hand is used to grab the deck and the posture of the rider while grabbing the deck?
5. Mid-air deck and/or body rotations

Another key part in judging both street and park is the rider's stance. The usual stance is called the ‘main stance’, but when a  rider adjusts the position of the front leg during competition, this is known as the ‘switch stance’. Judges will award marks for tricks performed with the main stance, but those performed with the switch stance will get higher marks as the degree of difficulty is increased.

What are potential injuries skateboarders face during a run?

Since its inception back in the 1940’s, skateboarding has taken on the reputation as being a dangerous sport. In fact, it comes in at #8 on the most-injury prone sports list. In 2015, 125,145 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms after being injured skateboarding. More than half of those injured were ages 14 to 24, and about one-third were between the ages of 5 and 14, according to Injury Facts 2017, the annual statistical report on unintentional injuries produced by the National Safety Council. Wrists, knees, and elbows are common areas for riders to get breaks or sprains, especially when proper safety is not followed. And although falling never stops being part of the sport, when proper safety tips and gear is taken on by riders you can prevent a lot of these common injuries. Our top three tips to prevent skateboarding injury are:

1. Always wear safety gear: Even the most experienced riders (i.e.: Olympic skateboarders), will be the first to tell you that having safety gear is of the utmost importance. Get yourself slip resistance closed-toe shoes, a skateboarding helmet, properly fitted knee and wrist pads (at minimum) and skateboarding gloves are also available to help reduce the impact of falls (and you will fall!).
2. Do a board check before going out: No matter if this is your first or 500th time out on your board, never stop checking it before you go. Make sure the board you purchase is fit for your age and riding type. Boards for freestyle will be designed differently from those of speed skateboarding. Before heading out, make sure all the nuts and bolts are tightened and your skateboard grip tape is still in good working order.
3. Practice falls and fall smart: As we mentioned, you will fall no matter how experienced you are in skateboarding. It’s just part of the sport (and gravity!). If you have the right safety gear on and a properly made board, you have won half the battle. The other half is to actually practice falling safely. Skateboarders have common fall methods like falling, bailing and slamming. By working on how to fall on your knees you can help soften the blow (because you will have your knee pads on). When you practice rolling out of a fall you will also be able to distribute the force of the fall which can help in preventing additional injuries.

It has been great to see skateboarding evolve over the years and finally make its way to the Olympics in 2020. Nothing is ever the same from one skateboarding run to another, so it always makes for entertaining performances.

We can’t wait to watch Team USA compete in the Tokyo Olympics 2020 this upcoming summer!

Wet location exit signs require a specific design and must meet certain requirements from various authorities, including state and local codes, in order to be approved for use. That is because these signs could get wet from condensation from things such as an air conditioning unit, or saturated from rainfall, snow, or other elements. Obviously, these exit signs cannot rely on a power source that is derived from a cable or outlet. This means one of the main requirements for wet location exit signs is to be either battery operated or able to store ambient light as energy for later use. Previously, this could be an extremely expensive investment for building owners to implement, but as exit signs have evolved, so have the options and costs.

Locations Requiring Wet Location Exit Signs

Wet location exit signs and egress systems are required for any indoor or outdoor location that can produce condensation or become wet from weather or other elements (such as spray from hoses). Depending on your state or city, they may be required in places you wouldn’t normally consider, so it is important to review your specific location’s rules and regulations to make sure you comply and don’t get hit with a fine. A wet location is generally defined as an interior or exterior location in which water or other liquids may drip, splash or flow on or against the exit sign.

Here is a list of some of the top locations that require wet location exit signs:   

Open Air Decks or Patios | Uncovered Porches | Outdoor Dining Areas | Exterior Walls | Water Vessels | Shower Enclosures                   

Locations that often get overlooked are indoor locations in which sprinkler systems could hit the exit signage during a fire. Be sure to review your building requirements and sprinkler systems to see if wet location exit signs are required. It could end up being a very costly mistake to have an electrical exit sign in place when sprinkler systems go off or the signs accidentally get sprayed with water!

Complying With Wet Location Exit Sign Requirements

The world of exit safety signage is massive. Consider all the locations you find an exit sign in that could be hit by the elements of wet weather or any other liquid or condensation. From parts of hotels, parking garages, cruise ships, and dining establishments… you get the idea. As the exit sign and safety industry continues to evolve, the regulating authorities including Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), International Building Code and International Fire Code and the way these products are engineered and installed has offered change for the better and new options to the market.

That means that complying with wet location exit sign requirements no longer needs to be a headache or strain on the bottom line. Even in New York City, which upholds some of the strictest guidelines for exit sign and egress systems, you can now find plenty of cost-effective options to choose from to meet wet location exit sign requirements. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is an independent product safety certification organization that tests exit signs and gives them a rating. Reviewing the UL listing can help you choose the most appropriate exit signs for your needs, from dry to damp or wet locations. Besides ensuring the UL listing is UL 924 listed, some other indications you will also want to make sure the exit sign upholds to meet wet location regulations include:

• Exit sign provides illumination without electricity or outlets required.                                               
• Exit sign is listed specifically for wet locations.       
• Exit sign meets state, local, and other regulating authorities' requirements.                                 
• Exit sign must be clear of decorations, equipment which may impair visibility to means of an exit.
• Signs marking exits should have the word "Exit" in legible letters no smaller than six inches high and 8-inch letters apply in some boroughs of New York and the city of Chicago. 

Additional guidance regarding wet location exit sign requirements is provided by reviewing the various regulating authorities' codes. For example, within the 2015 edition of NFPA 101 Life Safety Code section 7.10, it states numerous requirements to be aware of when choosing a wet location exit sign. One of these requirements is that externally illuminated signs require a level of illumination of not less than five foot-candles (54 lux) at the illuminated surface and a contrast ratio of not less than five-tenths (found in NFPA 2015 edition, Life Safety Code, section 7.10.6.3).

Wet Location Exit Sign Technology

Photoluminescent technology, fluorescent and LED light technology are all options for wet locations in need of exit signs or egress systems. Jessup Manufacturing offers an indoor/outdoor photoluminescent exit sign that can be used in wet locations—Glo Brite® PM 100.  This photoluminescent exit sign is designed to be applied to any location, including wet or damp locations or areas exposed to harsh elements and temperature changes. Photoluminescent technology has specifically increased in popularity for exit signage and egress systems throughout the past couple of decades and for very good reason.

Photoluminescent technology has been used for decades across the pond in Europe and started to become more widely used in the United States after the 1993 World Trade Towers truck bombing. In fact, given its impact in the 9/11 tragedy and other unrelated incidents, New York City passed New York Law 26 in 2004, which mandated the use of this technology in all buildings more than 72 feet high. The International Building Code and International Fire Code were also updated in 2005 to require the use of photoluminescent technology in new and existing high-rise buildings. 

Photoluminescent exit signs also provide an immediate return on investment – a fact that competing wet location exit sign and egress products cannot promise.  Photoluminescent exit signs contain phosphor, which consists of rare earth elements that are found in mixed geological deposits throughout the world. Phosphor particles can absorb, store, and then emit light at a later time whenever they are exposed to light. Long-persistence phosphor (LPP) is an emerging subset of this, which can emit light for a much longer period of time, acting like a sponge by absorbing and holding the light energy, slowly releasing it to provide illumination over an extended period of time. These phosphors can be added to ink, dye, paint, coatings, and plastics to create low-maintenance, no-hassle safety solutions- including wet location exit signs and egress systems. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, photoluminescent exit signs are the most energy-efficient exit signs available on the market today.

Another bonus of using photoluminescent technology for your wet location exit sign option is that this type of exit is extremely simple to install, maintain, and obviously requires zero electricity to operate- making them suitable for even the wettest of locations. This means you will not incur the additional labor and electrical costs associated with the installation of other exit signs and you can be worry-free about the safety of your guests. With no bulbs to replace with photoluminescent exit signs, once installed they are easily maintained for 25+ years. This increased reliability protects against potential life safety hazards even beyond being wet that could result due to the lack of maintenance for electric exit signs.

If your business has some outdoor or indoor component that has the potential to become wet, a waterproof wet location emergency exit sign is essential and required by law. Remember to review your specific city and state rules and regulations to make sure you comply fully and meet the proper requirements. To recap, some of our quick tips for wet location emergency exit signs are:

-Any location that can get hit with liquid needs a wet location emergency exit sign… and don’t forget sprinkler systems!

-Choose a wet location emergency exit sign that is UL 924 listed specifically for wet locations.

-Make sure it meets all building code requirements and that it meets or exceeds safety standards set by the International Fire Code and the International Building Code.

Consider photoluminescent emergency exit signs for wet locations (such as the Glo Brite® PM 100) as they are rated by almost every safety and hazard prevention organization as the best method of implementing safety signs available on the market at the present time.

Graphics media is one of the top ways to promote and advertise for small businesses—and for good reason. This type of advertising can be somewhat unexpected in today’s digital age and grabs the attention of people to make them feel engaged when done properly. With advances in wide-format printers, graphics media can now create some of the most creative and inexpensive advertising you will find for your business. Depending on the product you choose, it can also offer other additional benefits like being slip-resistant, 3D, and even glow in the dark. When using graphics media to promote your business, consider these four types of executions:

1. Use Graphics Media on Your Exterior Space

Many restaurants and retailers are lucky enough to have some type of outdoor space, whether it be a sidewalk space, brick walls, or even a patio. Using graphics media on your exterior space is a great way to make an eye-catching first impression and draw potential customers into your business. We love it when we see businesses use graphics media to:

Create sidewalk displays: Even uneven outdoor spaces can become works of art to advertise your message. By using a product like Asphalt Art®, you can create small to mural-like creations that are NFSI Certified for high traction and ASTM D-2047 certified for slip-resistance. Asphalt Art® conforms to the most uneven asphalt, cement, and brick in front of your place of business.

Use your exterior walls: Plaster your outdoor walls with extra-large signage and easy to read graphics to communicate holiday promotions, products, and events. This is a great way to go beyond an expected window display and attract attention. 

Patio spaces: If you have a restaurant patio space and weather permits, make sure you are promoting current drink specials, foods or events with bar and tabletop signage. Use a graphics media that is a printable vinyl and non-adhesive in order to create a durable printed countertop mat that can be easily moved and reused.

2. Advertise in Your Community with Graphics Media

Within your community is a great place to promote your business with branded signage at locations such as business centers, sports facilities, malls, or transportation hubs. By expanding your outreach beyond digital media and your actual storefront, you have the opportunity to reach more people with your brand and promotions. Consider the following ideas for advertising:

3D indoor floor signs: If your business is located within a mall or business center, consider reaching out to the building manager to see if you can advertise within the walkways with 3D indoor floor signs. Jessup’s ClearWalk® consists of a translucent film with a non-slip textured surface. It can be easily applied to a wide variety of indoor surfaces and easily removed without damaging the floor beneath. Because it is translucent, you can also see the floor beneath the graphic and is also ASTM D-2047 certified for slip resistance—a great thing in the winter-time when snow and rain are being tracked into buildings.

Elevators: Depending on your business location, advertising in your building’s elevator with wall or floor signage on how to get to your storefront or current promotions could be a great avenue to consider.

Transportation advertising: With the uptick in people using community transportation, advertising at your local bus, subway and train stations could be just what your brand needed! Create works of art with mural wraps around bus shelters and make your messaging stand out on the floors of the subway station while also offering anti-slip protection. Many transportation stations are also removing billboards in favor of graphics media murals. With graphics media also offering photoluminescent properties, you can also create glow-in-the-dark advertising which is especially helpful for outdoor bus shelters. Reach out to your community transportation offices to see if this is an option for advertising. It offers a sleek, easy to apply and remove option that can be applied to all areas.

Local sports facilities: Community sports centers generally get a lot of traffic, so reaching out to see what graphics media advertising options are available there is a smart idea depending on your brand. From stair advertising where you can put your branding, to large wall murals with catchy sayings and current holiday promotions, or your logo and imagery inside every bathroom door—the ideas are really endless.

3. Use Graphics Media Wisely Inside Your Business

Graphics media is an inexpensive option to promote your business compared to using many other forms of signage and displays. With the variety of films available you also have the ability to create 3D, mesh, textured, and even glow-in-the-dark effects in your signage. Here are a few of the top trends when using graphics media inside your business:

Cashier Counters or Dining tables: With people sitting in front of dining tables or waiting to be rung up by a cashier, having some sort of advertising in front of them just makes sense. Using a product like Jessup’s Matador™, you can create a non-adhesive vinyl product of any shape or size that can sit on bar counters, dining tables or cashier tables to promote the latest events and promotions. One of our favorite things about this type of product is that is can actually be moved and reused time and time again!

4.  Don’t Forget Stairs and Escalators

These spaces demand attention because people are constantly using them. By promoting your brand by way of escalators or stair treads you are sure to grab potential buyer’s attention. Using a product like Texwalk® is a smart choice because it is ASTM D-2047 certified for slip-resistance and ASTM E84 Class A certified for flame spread. It also does not require over-lamination and it can be cut into any shape allowing for immense versatility depending on the length of the stairs. This type of product is ideal for stairs and escalator surfaces and can easily be removed after the holidays pass. 

When looking for a partner in creating graphics media for advertising your business, we recommend keeping a few things in mind:

• Make sure the films you are choosing work well with your printer. Ensure their printability and durability. Ideally, you won’t have to laminate them unless requested.
• Choose films that are easy to install and remove without damaging surfaces. This will allow you to change artwork and advertising easily and for less cost between seasons.
• Floor graphics and stair graphics should ideally be utilizing non-slip technology.
• Don’t be afraid to let your imagination run wild when promoting your business. Consider creating murals that make for a great photo to be shared on social media and engage with the public, this helps to increase your brand share!

We hope this has been a helpful list of ways to use graphics media to promote your business.

From commercial to residential, or even water-worthy, having the correct anti-slip adhesives or treads are extremely important in preventing slip and fall accidents and ensuring the safety of everyone. But with so many choices on the market today, choosing the best type of non-slip flooring product for your application can be confusing. You need to consider several different factors when it comes to choosing your anti-slip flooring solution and, in some cases, you still might find with all the choices out there, you need a customized solution. We are reviewing top application locations, various products and discussing what to look for when choosing your anti-slip tape, tread or adhesive to allow you to navigate all the choices and choose the best one for your needs.
What type of anti-slip material is best for you?

There are three main types of materials that are used to make non-slip products. Depending on the type of activity, location and traffic that space sees, it will help decide what type of material is best suited for your application.

1.   Grit: The word describes exactly what it does. If you need to have a need for high slip-resistance, such as heavy-duty machinery or a military-grade application, then you will want to look at non-slip product made of grit material. Grit tapes and treads are excellent for commercial applications and can be used indoors and outdoors.  

2.   Resilient Vinyl: With a rubberized feel, this textured PVC tape or tread is an excellent choice when you need something strong enough for work shoes, but comfortable enough for bare feet to walk on it. 

3.   Embossed Vinyl: Most commonly seen in bathtub and shower mats, vinyl non-slip products are embossed PVC and non-abrasive. They are designed for both indoor, wet and dry applications and comfortable for bare feet.

Where is your anti-slip application location?

Ladders or Scaffolds: Ladders and scaffolding are two of the top places people are at risk for a slip and fall accident, so it is important to make sure you have the correct anti-slip tread and tape in place whether it is being used for work or at home. Consider if you need to meet specific OSHA requirements, need a mop-friendly tape, will be using the ladder inside or outside, if it will be hit with mud, oil or other product, or even if you will be using it in the dark. From there, you will be able to narrow down your exact product to best suit your application needs.

View products related to this application.

Farm Machinery or Construction Equipment: These types of applications require anti-slip tapes and treads that will stand up to both wet and dry environments, along with meeting OSHA standards to provide a durable, consistent, anti-slip surface. You’ll want to ensure your product’s adhesive system is able to aggressively bond and is extremely durable in order to prevent slip and fall accidents on the floors, stairs or ramps - even when hit with oil, diesel fuel or mud.

View products related to these applications.

Forklifts, Aerial Lifts and Cold Storage Centers: Similar to other machinery and equipment, you will want something that meets OSHA standards and is designed for heavier traffic and tougher environments.

View products related to these applications.

Recreational Vehicles, Snowmobiles, ATVs, Garden Tractors & Lawn Mowers: With these applications you might be looking for an anti-slip tape that is safe for the active movement taking place, certified “High Traction” by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) or potentially want to consider having a product that is mop-friendly for easy cleaning.

View products related to these applications.

Factory Floors, Machine Shops, Auto Service Areas, Garages: Potentially being hit with oil, grease, mud or other liquids, these floors and stairs need to be protected with some of the most heavy-duty anti-slip tapes. You’ll want to look for an anti-slip tape that delivers a consistent and long lasting “high-slip resistance” performance under tough conditions in order to ensure it bonds and is durable when you need it the most. In some cases, you will also need tape with caution messaging (such as: Caution, Slippery When Wet, Do Not Enter, Fire Exit, etc.) to provide additional protection from an accident that also meets OSHA guidelines for caution messaging in the workplace.

View products related to these applications. 

Steps, Stairs & Platforms: When it comes to these types of applications, you will want to make sure you choose an adhesive system that will bond to the step and is very durable. Consider if the steps or platform is located inside or outside, what types (if any) of liquids will be present, the amount of traffic and location of steps.

View products related to these applications.

Water Skis, Surfboards, Jet Boards, Boat Skis, Swimming Pools, Pool Accessories & Diving Boards: Anything water related you will want to make sure to have a least a medium grade Resilient product. You might consider a heavy-duty grade to compensate for heavy foot traffic or tougher environments. Resilient products ensure comfort for bare feet, but also are designed for heavy shoe traffic.

View products related to these applications.

Bathrooms, Bathtubs & Showers: When comfort on bare feet is as essential to preventing slip and fall accidents, you will want to look at Resilient products for these applications. Resilient anti-slip tape or treads works great in water conditions and on bare feet. Keep in mind that you will also want a  product that is mop-friendly for easy cleaning and potentially designed for shoe traffic depending on the location.

View products related to these applications.

Food Service Areas, Restaurants & Kitchens: With a constant barrage of liquids being spilled on the floor and lots of hustle and bustle, kitchens are some of the biggest culprits for slip and fall accidents. You will want to make sure you choose an anti-slip product that offers excellent protection against liquids, heavy foot traffic and is also mop-friendly for easy cleaning. Depending on if this is for commercial use, you will want a product that also meets certain OSHA requirements to protect your employees.

View products related to these applications.

Fitness Rooms, Exercise Equipment & Gyms: Fitness areas generally need to have a non-slip tape or tread that is foot-friendly and meant for indoor applications. Again, depending on the location you might need to consider a gritter grade anti-slip product if you will be outdoors or for high impact exercise equipment. You will also want something that can easily be cleaned and offers an industrial type application.

View products related to these applications.

Egress Requirements, Fire Exit Safety & Night or Dark: When it comes to meeting egress code requirements or providing visibility to surroundings in dark situations, it is important to have a non-slip egress tape or tread that glows to show the way out or around. Having a photoluminescent grit tape that can be used to mark stairs and corridors is extremely helpful to prevent slip and falls accidents. You might need to also make sure your product meets certain standards such as ASTM and NYC (MEA #235-05-M).

View products related to these applications.

Military or Extreme Environments: When you are needing an application for decks of vessels that will be constantly hit with salt water or other liquids and temperature fluctuations, airplane cargo holds or trains, you will want a product that exceeds MIL-PRF-24667C Type XI and is engineered to perform in extreme environments.

Consider: Safety Track® Military Grade 3810/3820 Series.

Choosing the correct type of non-slip flooring product is an important factor when it comes to the safety of  everyone. Make sure to review all the different factors when it comes to choosing your non-slip flooring solution. In 2017 alone a reported 227,760 non-fatal injury cases were reported due to falls, slips and trips in the private industry.  And while nothing can assure you will not slip and fall, choosing a non-slip flooring product can help minimize the risk. From consumer applications to the decks of warships, all types of locations require non-slip films to prevent slip and fall accidents. Make sure you choose the best type of product for your application or work with a Jessup Manufacturing representative to custom make a product based on your requirements. Our engineers can recommend the right product to work for your specific environment and usage.
