Steven Hannah, Operations specialist Caltex Australia

Caltex first used your anti slip product at our Western Australian oil blending facility located at North Fremantle. Although this plant has now closed and has since been demolished, I can confirm that the anti slip coating’s supplied by your company stood up to some of the harshest treatment imaginable. At the time, Caltex’s greatest concern was with the safety of staff working on the oil blending platform. This area of the plant was subject to abuse from full 205 litre additive drums as well being saturated with a variety of chemicals from time to time. The anti slip coatings supplied stood up to this harsh treatment and were still functioning as per their design criteria up until the blending plants closure.

Due to a number of reported incidents relation to slips during wet conditions, Caltex also purchased anti slip stair treads which were installed on our refines product tanks at North Fremantle, Albany and Port Hedland. The terminal operators endorsed their installation and there has subsequently been no further reported slips or near misses while ascending or descending the tank stairways. These tread coatings have been in place for in excess of ten years, and in all cases are in “as new condition”. I have no hesitation in recommending the Vigil Anti Slip floor and tread coatings. Personal experience has shown your product to be durable and long lasting.
