Posted By Alison Gillings To all and anyone The scenario is we have a number of retail stores with one tread steps up and down into display areas on the shop floor. Dependent on location and building type the majority of the steps will either be removed over a period of time or as is the case in some stores a contrasting colored nosing will be fitted to all step edges. Can anyone clarify whether these nosings should be of an anti slip type as our maintenance manager is concerned that we would be adding an additional trip hazard to the existing step. regards Ali

Posted By steven bentham Alison - sounds like you have asked a very hard and technical question> A guess for what its worth, your replacement programme is the correct way forward, identifying the edges will help members of the public (or may be partially sighted), they in my view should be no more slippy than what they have replaced.
