Having determined the traffic makeup, contaminant exposure, and the nature of the surface, consider whether to adopt a short term or a long term surface treatment. All produce a basic anti-slip surface when new and in good condition. But these treatments tend to wear quickly and lose their effectiveness after 6 to 18 months. They are useful in areas that receive minor wear, where cleanability isn't an issue, and where contamination is slight. They are an inexpensive way to solve small problems in isolated areas, abut the need for constant re-application makes them expensive over the long haul.
Mats are a durable alternative often used in spot applications around machinery and work situations.
If contaminants can be localized and contained, mats can be effective. They provide the added benefit of reducing fatigue as well as slips. But mats can also turn a slip and fall problem into a trip and fall problem. Tapes are notorious for peeling up, and mats must hug the floor to be effective. For larger areas, the best answer is to alter the floor surface itself.
