Is your concrete floor a trip hazard? Are your employees or customers in constant danger of tripping on a crack or joint? You don’t want anyone to be seriously injured. Don’t worry if you think that the only way to fix a concrete trip hazard is to replace it completely. You can fix concrete trip hazards by using our method.
What is a Concrete Trip Hazard?
Defines a concrete trip hazard as “any crack or joint in a concrete walk with a vertical variation of more than 1/4 inch.”
Even a small change in the surface can pose a danger to people who walk through it. Cracks and joints are common in any area. It is safer to fix the problem now than to wait until something goes wrong.
How to Repair Concrete Trip Hazards
We use a proven method to fix concrete trip hazards less than half as deep as the concrete pour. For example, if the concrete pour is 4 inches thick, a crack or a joint less than 2 inches in height can be fixed.
What Not to Do
You should not patch over a trip hazard. Patches do not stay in place during cold winters. It is very likely that the patch will just fall off.
You’re also not solving the real problem. It’s still a trip hazard, and covering it up will only make it more dangerous.
How to Remove Concrete Trip Hazards
Grind down the trip hazard so that it is level with the concrete. Grinding down your concrete floor will make it compliant with OSHA and remove the risk to those who walk through the area.
Concrete grinding will save you money compared to replacing the concrete floor. Although it’s possible to perform this task yourself, we recommend that you hire professionals who can complete the process quickly.
