Eaton’s grating solutions - 
Safety for every walk of life™

Grating is manufactured of metal and fabricated to use in commercial, light industrial, harsh and hazardous industrial applications.  Safety grating is used to create non-slip and slip-resistant walkways, stair treads, ladder rungs, mezzanines and more. 

Why is grating important to install in industrial and commercial applications? 

In survey after survey, accidents caused by falls are high on the list of disabling and lost-time injuries and even death. In fact, statistics from many states rate this type of accident are second as the cause for industry’s loss of manhours and lower productivity.  

Safety grating helps mitigate risk by providing a slip-resistant or non-slip surface in indoor and outdoor environments.  Plus, they are designed for self-cleaning or quick easy cleaning to help ensure a safe walking surface.

Why use safety grating over bar grating? 

While safety grating is available in various designs, traditional bar grating is designed with cross bars and bearing bars.  Safety grating is often lighter in weight, easier to install and superior in slip-resistance.
