Technical guidance

Health & safety

Slips and trips are the most common cause of injury at work. On average, they cause over a third of all major injuries and over 40% of all reported injuries. HSE statistics suggest the most of these accidents are slips, most of which happen when walking surfaces are contaminated (water, talc, grease, etc).

Colorcoat Aquatite® has a unique trademarked emboss design for slip resistance, with sharp leading edges in all directions, ensuring a low slip risk classification both in wet and dry conditions.

This product has been independently tested and certified to BS 7976-2, in accordance with latest UKSRG Guidelines and current UK Health and Safety Executive guidance.

Colorcoat Aquatite® PVC can be installed using established ‘single ply’ heat seaming techniques.

Welding Joints are straightforward and can be produced on-site using simple hot air welding techniques that give excellent watertight results. This also eliminates the need for mechanical fixings and sealants, which can be messy and costly, and it ensures that the finished installation looks, and remains looking good, for many years.
