OSHA sets strict regulations to keep workplaces safe—and that includes your floors. Failing to meet safety standards can lead to fines, accidents, and costly downtime. Here’s how to ensure your facility’s floors are compliant.
Key Flooring Regulations from OSHA
- Slip Resistance (29 CFR 1910.22): Floors must be kept clean, dry, and slip-resistant.
- Floor Load Ratings (29 CFR 1910.22(d)): Industrial floors must support expected loads without risk of collapse.
- Clear Markings (29 CFR 1910.144): Color-coded zones improve safety and workflow efficiency.

How to Ensure Compliance
✔ Use Anti-Slip Coatings: Epoxy with grit additives prevents slips in high-traffic areas.
✔ Regular Maintenance: Cracks and uneven surfaces should be repaired immediately.
✔ Color-Coded Flooring: Mark walkways and hazardous areas with epoxy striping.
