Oil & Gas Exploration & Production
Harsh Offshore Environments Demand Robust Anti-Slip Protection
That’s why we are the leading manufacturer of Hi-Traction® Anti-Slip Covers used in the Oil & Gas exploration and production industry.
Ordinary slip prevention methods fail under the extreme conditions present in the Petroleum Industry. We used this challenge as a proving ground for innovation that resulted in Super Coarse (Xtreme™) and Extra Coarse (Offshore) grades, anti-slip grit sizes that are now the industry
standard anti-slip safety surfaces for oil and gas facilities both on and offshore.
SAFEGUARD® Anti-Slip Treads Eliminate Costly Injuries on New Builds and Offshore Existing Platforms.
When it comes to Anti-Slip Steps, Walkways, Ladder Rung Covers, Pipe Walkers, and Pipe & Cable Covers for drilling platforms; Safeguard Technology is the leading innovator. Offering FRP/GRP composite or stainless and galvanized steel base construction; a wide variety of Hi-Glo Traction® photoluminescent colors; descriptive messaging in any language and logos, as well as a range of installation accessories and adhesives.
Safeguard Covers Since 1992
Since 1992, Safeguard Covers have proven themselves in the demanding Oil & Gas and Exploration & Production Industry. Safeguard® Hi-Traction® Step, Walkway, and Ladder Rung Covers are used everywhere slip prevention is critical.
The Safeguard Difference
Safeguard® Hi-Traction® Covers are manufactured in the widest range of base material
construction including 1.2 mm (18ga.) #316 Stainless Steel, Marine-grade Aluminum, G90 Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel, and Pultruded FRP/GRP Composite (Fiberglass), Geo-Membranes, and Heavy-Weight Rubber Mats. Incorporating Fused Alumina Aggregate makes Safeguard Covers durable enough to provide years of Anti-Slip protection backed by a 5 year warranty.
Six Sizes of Grit
Safeguard offers six sizes of grit. Super Coarse and Extra Coarse have become the industry standards for the Oil & Gas exploration industry. For less harsh, but less critical environments such
as crews quarters, shower and locker room facilities, fine grades are available.
Glo Yellow and Glo-Traction® Colors
Photoluminescent glow-in-the-dark colors can offer extended safety for crew members and
employees when darkness falls or power failures occur. Combine Glo-Traction® Colors and safety messaging to provide critical directions for escape routes on steps, walkways, and ladders in emergency situations. Our photoluminescent pigment is non-toxic, non-radioactive and can be recharged repeatedly during the life of the product.
One and Two-Tone Color Configurations
“Safety Yellow” is the most popular color used, but by incorporating a second color, a two-tone configuration can be created, calling attention to the leading edge. This will provide a contrast between the step edge and the back of the tread for easy definition and clarity
Descriptive Messaging and Logos
Safeguard was the first to incorporate PPE Safety Messaging on our complete line of Hi-Traction®,
and Hi-Glo Traction® Covers. Reinforce safety with universally recognized symbols, or text in any language. Safeguard also offers corporate logos to enhance corporate branding and reaffirm safety compliance programs.
Installation
Safeguard® Hi-Traction® Covers are non-load bearing, and are prefabricated for installation over existing surfaces, including steel and composite grating as well as solid metal, wood and concrete. Installation is accomplished using Universal Saddle Clip assemblies, Screws, Bolts and/or Adhesives. Pre-drilled or slotted holes are available to minimize installation time and costs.
Offshore
Workers are at serious risk offshore, far from hospitals and medical help. Companies must be proactive in the prevention of accidents, and we at Safeguard can help. Installation of our anti-slip products is an easy and effective way to reduce slip-and-fall accidents.
Onshore/Land Rigs
At Safeguard, we understand the tough working conditions oil and gas drillers encounter- the physical demands plus the precarious environmental elements. Oily, muddy, wet, or icy conditions add to the risk of slip-and-fall accidents. Our focus is on keeping people safe in these settings, and our Hi-Traction covers are made to meet the challenge.
Refining & Processing
Oils, chemicals, and other compounds in the petrochemical and oil processing industry make environments very hazardous for workers. We have developed an extremely effective, permanent solution to the problem of accidental slips-and-falls: install Safeguard Anti-Slip Covers over grating, platforms, tiles, floors, walkways, and ramps.
