Safety is a key issue in everyday working life. MEISER develops products that help to reduce risks and make work areas safer. The MEISER occupational safety brochure provides an overview.

The importance of occupational health and safety and accident prevention continues to grow for companies and institutions alike.

The accident prevention regulations issued by the employers’ liability insurance associations and accident insurance funds under Germany’s statutory accident insurance system (DGUV) constitute legally binding requirements. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in serious consequences for any organization. Beyond legal obligations, a company’s commitment to safe and comfortable working conditions also has a significant impact on its reputation and reflects, in the eyes of customers, its approach to product and service quality. Equally important are the costs associated with preventable workplace accidents, which can place a considerable burden on businesses.

These are just some of the reasons why MEISER has taken a closer look at this important topic. We have developed a wide range of products designed to help you and your customers prevent accidents and make workplaces safer.

To provide a clear overview of potential areas for improvement, we have consolidated these solutions into a dedicated Occupational Safety Catalog, highlighting where safety enhancements may be both possible and necessary.

Regardless of legal consequences, costs, or reputational risks, one thing should never be forgotten: our success is built on our employees, people whose safety and well-being must always be protected. Let our experts advise you and work together with our team to analyze how your workplace can be made safer.or more information, please contact your MEISER representative.

Pointed tooth slide protection SR1

The pointed-tooth slide protection is used exclusively for press-welded gratings. In this form, the bearing bar is provided with particularly pointed notches by seamlessly lining up crescent-shaped cut-outs. This significantly increases the anti-slip properties of this type of grating. With this profile, slip resistance class R12 can be achieved with certain mesh widths.

 

 

Sawtooth slide protection SR2

Sawtooth anti-slip protection is only possible with press-locked gratings and is characterized by a sawtooth-shaped notch in the bearing and/or cross bars. With this form of anti-slip protection, a maximum slip resistance class of R12 can be achieved. Other special shapes according to foreign standards (e.g. Danish railroad) are also based on this anti-slip profile. Please contact us if required.

 

 

Super-slip protection SR3

Super anti-slip protection is only possible with press-locked gratings and is characterized by extremely high slip resistance. The bearing and cross bars are punched with particularly sharp edges. With this form, the highest slip resistance class R13 can be achieved. These gratings are used particularly in the food industry and in areas with high levels of soiling or regular contact with liquids.

 

 

Standard wheel slide protection SR4

The standard anti-slip protection is characterized by a semicircular notch in the bearing and/or cross bars, with residual bars remaining between the notches. This enables a slip resistance class of up to R12 to be achieved for press-locked gratings (notching of bearing and cross bars) and up to R11 for press-welded gratings (notching only possible on the bearing bar). This variant is used as standard in regularly frequented outdoor areas.

 

In recent years, the issue of slip resistance of walkable surfaces has become increasingly important. Wherever slippery substances are used, i.e. where oils, greases and emulsions are used, there is an increased risk of slipping.

In outdoor areas, the weather plays a decisive role. Rain and snow quickly turn many areas into slippery slopes. MEISER offers a solution to this problem and guarantees a secure grip with MEISER anti-slip gratings. This greatly reduces the risk of slipping or sliding. Depending on regulations or personal safety requirements, MEISER can supply gratings with a classification from R9 to R13.

The required R-number for various areas of use is specified by the “BGR181” (German Social Accident Insurance and Prevention Regulations for Safety and Health at Work). This slip resistance is tested by an independent testing institute using clearly defined testing equipment

Classification

Grade R-Class
from 3° to 10° R9
from 10° to 19° R10
from 19° to 27° R11
from 27° to 35° R12
more than 35° R13
