CITGO operates nearly 14,000 gas stations in the United States as well as three refineries, three lubricant facilities and 40 storage facility areas. CITGO was seeking a slip resistant solution to slippery walkways at their lubricant facility in Cicero, IL. Often oil and lubricants can create a dangerous walking path for employees utilizing the walkways. The solution needed to be extremely durable and resistant against oil and lubricants.

CITGO contacted SlipNOT® Metal Safety Flooring for a solution to their slippery walkway flooring. SlipNOT® supplied steel Grip Plate® Grade 2 for the dangerous walkways. Slip resistant steel plate remains slip resistant when exposed to oils and lubricants. Steel Grip Plate® can also withstand installation in heavy duty industrial settings where heat and oil are prevalent.

By installing SlipNOT®’s steel Grip Plate® at the lubricant facility, CITGO is helping to ensure the safety of employees working at the facility. The steel plate provides CITGO with a solution that is slip resistant against oil and lubricants, long lasting, and durable against heavy use. SlipNOT® slip resistant steel plate is a long lasting solution to the slippery walkways.
