WHY CHOOSE GRP?
WHAT IS GLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC (GRP)?
GRP is also known as FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) or fibreglass. They are all a blend of recycled plastic, recycled glass and a tough, waterproof resin to bond it all together. The materials inherent strength and longevity make it the ideal alternative to steel or aluminium.
SLIP-RESISTANT
QuartzGrip® moulded fibreglass grating has an integral, angular quartz gritted surface tested in accordance with BS 7976-2. It provides an exceptional level of slip resistance in all directions. Lifespan depends on frequency of use.
CHEMICAL RESISTANT
GRP is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, across a wide temperature spectrum. It can also be made using different resin systems to achieve specific chemical resistance properties.
FIRE RESISTANT
All products contain a fire resistant additive and comply with Euro Class 1 and ISO 11925-2. Perfomance is equivalent to ASTM E84 Class A and BS EN 13501-1 Class Bfl-s1.
QUALITY ASSURED
Manufactured in accordance with our ISO 9001 accredited Quality Management System, the structural integrity of the material is high grade. A suggested lifespan of 25 years can be expected based on a number of variables: environmental, installation process, maintenance, loading and traffic conditions.
ECONOMICAL
In most cases, GRP equivalents to steel components are much cheaper to buy. Add to that the reduction in handling and maintenance costs and GRP is the smart choice.
UV STABLE
All products are manufactured with a high quality UV inhibitor to prevent colour degradation.
SELF-COLOURED
All QuartzGrip® moulded fibreglass grating and GRP Profiles are pigmented throughout during manufacture and do not require any secondary treatments such as powder coating or paint spraying.
LIGHTWEIGHT & DURABLE
Weighing a fraction of the steel equivalents, GRP is lightweight in comparison and can be manoeuvered into place without mechanical assistance.
It is exceptionally durable and has the ability to withstand impact, reducing the risk of permanent buckling or deformation.

RISER FL0ORS
We now provide an accredited CPD seminar on Service Risers, looking at the pros, cons and comparative costs of all the methods and materials on the market. Get in touch to find out more.
Probably our biggest seller, Step on Safety’s RiserDeck® is a complete riser flooring solution for easy installation within mechanical and electrical service riser vents and smoke risers. It provides a modern, highspec alternative to traditional galvanised steel and ply board service riser duct flooring and is easier to install and adjust as additional services are fitted.
The complete system comprises of our Universal™ Angle, I-Beam, C-Section GRP profiles and QuartzGrip® GRP open mesh
grating, cut precisely to fit the size and shape of the riser vent. It can be installed during construction or retro-fitted to older buildings to bring them up to code.
More and more, architects, developers, site managers and contractors are specifying GRP for their riser floors.
It’s lightweight so can be manoeuvred into place by hand –no heavy lifting gear is required
• It’s non-sparking, so if it needs to be cut onsite, hot works licenses are not required and there’s no
fire hazard
It’s non-corrosive and lowmaintenance with a life expectancy of decades
• The flooring is anti-slip, reducing the risk of slips and falls
It can be cut to any shape and installed to suit your timetable – whether that’s as the building goes up, at the end of construction or in an older, completed building
We can install it for you or provide pre-cut sections for your own teams to fit
Post-Fix System
Once the floor is poured we come in and install the Riser Floors. This is the traditional method but does mean that, for a period of time, the riser voids are open presenting a considerable hazard. Barriers are needed to prevent falls and a tower needs to be be built below the riser void to give installers safe access. However, working closely with developers, we can install the risers as the building goes up, keeping the risk to a minimum.
GRP Profiles are used to create the framework
Optional Extras
No matter when our Riser Floors are installed, they are always designed to a UDL load limit of 5kN/m2.
Retro-Fit System
Buildings built before the 1980s are likely to still have riser voids, presenting a considerable hazard to HVAC engineers. GRP is lightweight and easy to cut on site, which makes it easy to work with, even when access is difficult and services are already in place. We spend a lot of time working in older buildings during fit-outs and refurbishments, ensuring the riser voids meet all Health & Safety requirements going forward.
Top Grating on roof-top Riser Caps
In addition we can include:
Access Hatches
Access Ladders
• Colour options
• Open mesh or solid-top Smoke risers (50mm mesh providing 80% open space)

CAST-IN RISER FL0ORS
Safer Floors. Sooner
Eliminates the risk that a riser void presents with Step on Safety’s exclusive GRP cast-in system while saving you time and money.
Benefits
• Zero risk of falls
Voids are filled earlier in the build process making your site safer and reducing time potentially lost due to accidents
• Installed in minutes
Units are supplied prefabricated and complete with fixings so can be simply placed in position before the floor is poured
• Easy to manoeuvre
A fraction of the weight of steel equivalents so no need for heavy lifting equipment
• Superior load bearing Offers UDL minimum of 5kN/m2 as standard –future-proofing against inevitable changes to the current 2.5kN/m2 H&S requirements
• Reduces onsite delays
Can be supplied ready to use at the very start of a project eliminating the risk of supply hold-ups
• Reduces the number of workers on site
No need to schedule in a specialist installation team
• They are pre-fabricated, so plans and specifications will be 100% accurate – essential for future additions.
Features
System comprises a specially engineered GRP profile used to create a frame; this comes as a standard depth of 300mm but can be cut down to suit. Once a frame is made, 38mm yellow GRP Mini Mesh Grating is cut to fit and dropped onto the frame. Correx sheets protect the grating while the concrete is poured. Once complete, the RiserDeck units provide a non-slip, non-trip floor surface that can be traversed safely from day one. The hi-vis yellow finish alerts workers to the change in surface, ensuring vehicles don’t drive across it in error.
If provided with a plan of the services going into the riser, we can add any extra joists required to each unit prior to delivery, ensuring flooring integrity after service penetration. Alternatively, they can be installed at a later date.
What you save
By choosing GRP for your riser floors, you’re already reducing the costs of manpower and lifting equipment. By choosing RiserDeck Cast-In you save even more: No riser protection required
• No specialist installation team required
• No install towers required
• No time or material wasted creating shuttering
• No return visits as services are added
Premium Solution
The current UDL requirement is only 2.5kN/m2 (based on BS 8620 for a Low Level Working Platform) and there are many providers that might be satisfied by meeting that minimum. Step on Safety is not an economy provider – every fabricated solution we provide has a UDL of 5kN/m2; RiserDeck exceeds that. Before opting for a low-cost option, ask yourself:
How much will it cost you to upgrade the floors WHEN the H&S requirements increase?
How strong will the floor be once holes are cut to accommodate services?
• What would happen if the floor was over-loaded by accident?
• Can you afford to take the risk?

ROOF-TOP ACCESS
From building a staircase to reach the roof, to adding Gantries and Walkways that smooth the surface allowing maintenance teams to navigate safely, rooftop access can be as simple as adding a Hop Over or as extensive as resurfacing the whole area. The Step on Safety team can help you assess how much or how little is required to assure HVAC engineers safe and easy access to the control units, ducting and vents on your building.
All stairs and platforms are constructed using QuartzGrip® anti-slip GRP grating with edges highlighted with hi-vis yellow nosing to reduce trips and falls. Platforms and steps more than 40cm high are fitted with handrailing, and self-closing gates can be installed where necessary. GRP Grating and Structural GRP Profiles are long-lasting and require little to no maintenance. They are UV stable and noncorrosive so won’t fade or rust.
MAINTENANCE PLATFORMS
For multi-floor machinery or control panels and maintenance hatches that are installed in hardto-reach places, gaining access safely can be a challenge. We can design, supply and install a wide variety of GRP Stairs, Gantries and Access Platforms, ranging in size from simple threshold steps to more intricate high-level platforms that ensure operation and maintenance crews remain safe at all times.
Our designers work with your basic site dimensions and, using
the latest AutoCAD® technology, create a design to meet your exact requirements. All our fibreglass Stairs and Access Platforms are manufactured from heavy duty structural fibreglass pultruded profiles, which on a weight-forweight basis are around 80% lighter than conventional steel profiles and around 30% lighter than aluminium profiles. This exceptional weight saving provides positive costsaving benefits with thanks to easy installation. It also reduces the imposed loading on existing
substrates such as roof-tops and mezzanines.
We incorporate tread grating in the design of all our fibreglass Stairs and Access Platforms. This stair tread is manufactured from 38mm thick grating with an integral solid reinforced nosing for optimal slip resistance. Every stair and access platform we design and manufacture is corrosion and weather-resistant which means it requires minimal maintenance, even if it’s located outside.
No
matter how difficult access might be, we will find a safe solution
ACCESS STAIRS
Whether you need one or two steps to a doorway or platform, or a multi-storey staircase to reach a roof-top or mezzanine floor, Step on Safety’s GRP staircases offer an anti-slip, low-maintenance and low-noise solution.
Ideal for replacing slippery metal or rotten wooden steps, the fibreglass treads, handrailing and structural profiles are non-corrosive and UV stable; they’ll never go rusty, they’ll never fade and they’ll never need painting.
Each staircase is designed to meet your specific requirements ensuring all health & safety guidelines are adhered to. It’s then built at our headquarters in Suffolk before being shipped in sections to your site for quick and easy installation – by us or by your own teams. For a rough idea of costs our QuickQuote Calculator will help you get started.
STAIR TREATMENTS
If your existing steps are structurally sound but becoming worn or slippery, adding Stair Tread Covers or Stair Nosing offers a quick and economical solution and instantly reduces the risk of slips and falls.
We can install them for you or pre-cut and pre-drilled for DIY
ACCESS LADDERS
At Step on Safety, we offer fullybespoke GRP Access Ladders, from concept to installation. Our range of bespoke Access Ladders includes Fixed Ladders and Cat Ladders.

STEP OVERS
Whether staff need to navigate across a single pipe, a boundary wall or a network of cables, a Step Over will ensure that they stay safe while preventing the pipes, walls or cables from getting kicked, stepped on and damaged. Built to suit each site, a Step Over can be made any height, width or length and is usually supplied
ready-made. GRP is less than half the weight of the steel equivalent, so most Step Overs can be placed manually – no heavy lifting equipment is required. It is also long-lasting and low-maintenance.
Typically constructed using QuartzGrip® Standard Mesh Grating and stairs with a SafeRail™ ergonomic handrail, they can be
made to your own specifications. To get an idea of costs, why not download our QuickQuote form or try our QuickQuote Calculator? Once completed, simply email it to our sales teams and they’ll get back to you to discuss your project and provide a guide price.
MEZZANINE DECKS
If space is becoming an issue, adding a mezzanine floor into your warehouse or plant room is an instant solution.
A GRP Mezzanine Deck can be built to any size, shape or loading requirement and includes anti-slip stairs. Flooring can be fabricated from open mesh grating
or solid top grating plus handrailing and safety gates keep staff safe. Unlike metal equivalents, a GRP structure is quiet to walk on and warmer to the touch making a more comfortable working environment. Also, whether inside or outside, the platform will not rust or rot, therefore requiring minimal upkeep.
PROTECTIVE SCREENS
Keep unauthorised staff out for safety or security reasons with a GRP Screen.
Our GRP Screen Guard can be used to fill in the gaps left by handrails or for building walls and cages, complete with lockable gates to protect expensive stock or dangerous machinery.
A framework made using GRP profiles provides a lightweight but strong solution to metal alternatives.
WALKWAYS & GANTRIES
from A to B is to go up and over rather than around. To clear multiple or extended obstacles such as cables, HVAC equipment, sloping roofs or storage tanks, a Gantry or raised Walkway offers the perfect solution.
It can be made as long as required, can go around corners, have as many entry points as needed and is strong enough to safely support people and equipment.
Step on Safety Gantries are constructed using 38mm QuartzGrip® anti-slip GRP Grating supported by GRP structural profiles. Staircases or Ladders can be added at each end or at mid-points providing access with self-closing safety gates and safety hoops where required. Handrails come complete with kick plates to prevent items being dropped over the edge.
ACCESS RAMPS
A well-placed ramp will make life a whole lot easier for anyone using wheels – from child buggies, wheelchairs and mobility scooters to wheeled luggage, tool boxes, trollies or even vehicles.
Adding a ramp to improve pedestrian or vehicular access into and around buildings, display platforms or even other vehicles can be done with mobile or permanent solutions. Whether it’s constructing a ramp from scratch or improving an existing one with anti-slip flooring or handrails, Step on Safety has the solution you need.
Constructed using QuartzGrip® anti-slip GRP open mesh grating, solid top panels or flat plate floor sheets and finished with ramp edging, an access ramp provides smooth, safe access.
HANDRAILS
Handrails aren’t just for steps and stairs - they are also an effective tool for controlling or guiding the flow of foot traffic to keep passengers and maintenance teams safe.

GRP ANTI-SLIP FLOORING
ANTI-SLIP FLAT PLATE
QuartzGrip® Anti-Slip GRP Flooring Sheets are a great solution to safeguarding employee and public safety by reducing slips, trips and falls in hazardous environments in constant use.
Benefits of Anti-Slip Flooring Sheets
Designed specifically to create grip underfoot, this effective gritted surface performs well in wet, icy or greasy conditions, transforming walkways and maintaining a steady grip. The surface meets BS 7976-2 for slip-resistance.
Flooring sheets are a great option if you have worn or uneven flooring where slips are more likely to occur. The flooring is also easy to install and is more durable than anti-slip paint or tape, making it an especially cost-effective solution.

TACTILE FLOORING TILES
Tactile flooring is designed to warn visually impaired pedestrians when approaching a change in floor level or hazardous areas such as railway platforms, pedestrian crossings and stairs.
QuartzGrip® Anti-Slip Tactile Flooring is available in a variety of designs to suit various applications. The tiles can be used internally or externally to provide a warning in the change of surface or to denote a hazard that has been approached.
Types of Tactile Flooring
In-line Blister Tactiles provide warnings in the absence of a curb less than 25mm high. The surface is an essential safety feature as its terrain differentiates where a footway ends and where the carriageway begins. The tiles also allow wheelchair users to cross roads with ease.
Off-Set Blister Tactiles have flat-topped domes set in even rows, for use on kerbs, parallel to the direction of travel. The surface can be any colour (apart from red) to provide a contrast to assist partially sighted people.
Corduroy Tactiles warn of the approach of specific hazards including steps, cycle paths.
