Anti-Slip Stair Products: Solutions for Enhanced Safety is a one-hour course that offers valuable training on stair safety, industry standards, and best practices for designing safer stairways. Professionals can access the course for free at their convenience. With a quick log-in, they can start learning practical knowledge that prevents slips and falls. They can also earn continuing education credits required for professional certification and renewal. The course is especially useful for professionals working on high-traffic facilities such as schools, churches, stadiums, and parking structures, where safe stair design is a critical concern.
Stairs are an important component of building design, serving both as a traffic pathway and an emergency egress route. However, improperly designed or outfitted stairways present serious slip-and-fall risks, making safety solutions a top priority for architects, contractors, and building owners. The course provides a comprehensive overview of stair safety, focusing on anti-slip products for both new construction and renovation projects. Participants will gain essential knowledge on stair safety, including key design considerations, common slip hazards, and the role of anti-slip stair treads and nosings in preventing accidents. The course covers stair safety codes and regulations along with the benefits of photoluminescent egress path markings for visibility and emergency evacuations. Participants will also explore various anti-slip materials, including aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and high-performance epoxy coatings, and finally installation methods and anchorage options to ensure long-term durability.
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries are experiencing rapid change as technological advancements and guidelines emerge. This has a significant, ongoing impact on professionals and makes continuing education an essential part of the work. Architects, contractors, facility managers, and other industry professionals can stay up to date on knowledge to improve stair safety, building compliance, and occupant well-being with this course designed for busy professionals. It fits anyone’s schedule with on-demand convenience and can be completed virtually, in person, or peer-to-peer.
