Slips and falls are the second leading cause of injury to transportation passengers. Your flooring and step treads are extremely important, and you have a choice in what flooring your bus OEM provides for your fleet.
Unique materials provide slip-resistant properties without using harsh aggregates that tear mops when cleaning
Boarding and alighting accidents are generally related to slips and trips within the step well.
Unfortunately, step tread failure has become a common occurrence adding to the possibility of
injury.
Most step treads are put together by gluing the tread to the nosing at manufacturing, and
typically only use about 50% surface coverage with the adhesive. Only KORO-TRANS® step treads are
prefabricated using structural adhesive to bond 100% of the surface area. The nosing and tread are
manufactured and welded together for a solid bond so separation cannot occur.
