Trusted by Blackwoods. Engineered by ITW.
Slips, trips and falls continue to be one of the most common causes of workplace injuries across Australia. According to Safe Work Australia, 22% of serious claims in 2023–2024 were due to these incidents—often occurring in environments where floor surfaces are wet, greasy, or exposed to the elements.
For manufacturing facilities, warehouses, mining sites, and municipal infrastructure, the risk is real. From mezzanines and machine access points to ramps, stairs and walkways, any trafficable surface exposed to spills, rain, moss or ice can quickly become a hazard.
A smarter way to safeguard your site.
Epirez® Safe Step® 100, available through Blackwoods, is a high-performance anti-slip coating designed to help reduce the risk of slips and falls in high-traffic and high-risk areas. Developed by ITW, a trusted supplier to Blackwoods, Safe Step 100 is engineered for durability, chemical resistance and ease of application.
This single-component epoxy system contains a non-settling aggregate and colour pigment already mixed in—no blending required. Simply open the tin and roll or trowel it on. Once cured, it delivers a tough, textured surface that enhances traction and withstands harsh industrial conditions.
Safe Step 100 is suitable for:
- Manufacturing and warehousing floors
- Mining and heavy industrial sites
- Council buildings and public infrastructure
- Ramps, stairs, walkways and machine zones
Designed to meet safety standards.
Safe Step 100 is formulated to meet high frictional performance across all four classifications outlined in AS 4586-2013 for slip resistance, including wet pendulum and oil-wet incline testing. It also aligns with the National Construction Code (NCC) requirements for slip-resistant surfaces on ramps and stairways.
Whether you're managing a facility, overseeing procurement, or responsible for public safety, Safe Step 100 offers a reliable solution to help reduce incidents and improve compliance.
