Patented SAFEGUARD® Covers for ladder rungs provide confident antislip protection right where it is needed most.
Typical ladder rungs, especially those made from bar stock, are notorious for slip problems, especially in wet and oily environments. This is one of the most dangerous locations for any worker as the foot surface area is small and needs to have excellent traction.
To solve this problem, Safeguard manufactures two styles of slip resistant Ladder Rung Cover – "channel shaped" and "half-round", both of which fit easily over the rung. The "half-round" cover is available in pultruded FRP (fiberglass) only. Both styles can be installed using adhesive or mechanical fasteners (over hollow rungs). Metal Ladder Rung Covers can be tack welded to metal rungs.
SAFEGUARD® Ladder Rung Covers are proven performers in the world's toughest environments, on offshore drilling platforms, marine vessels, in greasy food processing facilities, dusty ceramic plants, automotive stamping operations, and power generation facilities.
The Covers provide superior traction and long lasting performance, and significantly enhance ladder safety. They are resistant to many chemicals, corrosion, and the harsh abuse of boot traffic up and down the ladder.
SAFEGUARD® Ladder Rung Covers are ideal in either indoor or outdoor use, in all types of harsh weather or dangerous conditions. A range of safety-oriented color options is available, as well as two-tone combinations and photoluminescent HiGloTraction (glow-in-the-dark) configurations.
They can be retrofitted over ladder rungs in the field, or as an OEM enhancement.
Safeguard offers its Hi-Traction Covers in a range of sizes, base constructions, ladder rung cover colors and anti-slip grades, with complete installation instructions provided.

Most slips on steps occur at the leading edge of a step, especially when the metal, wood or concrete surface becomes worn and the edge rounded. Water, ice, dust, dirt, grease or oil on the stairs further accentuates the problem, making for a dangerous condition with the stair nosing.
Non-load bearing SAFEGUARD® Step Covers are designed to fit over existing steps, providing a brand new surface with durable antislip performance. They cover the leading edge, providing excellent traction that exceeds OSHA standards, even in adverse conditions. Convert your steps to safety treads.
SAFEGUARD® Step Covers are installed on thousands of steps around the world in a wide range of markets, in both new construction projects and in retrofit applications. Retrofitting SAFEGUARD® Step Covers both provide a non slip stair and avoids the high cost of replacing worn stair treads.
Safeguard offers its Hi-Traction Covers in a range of sizes, base constructions, colors and grits, with complete installation instructions provided.
