Are tread caps easy to maintain?

OSHA Compliance:
While tread caps primarily serve decorative and protective functions, it’s important to ensure that the underlying tread still meets OSHA’s safety requirements:
- Surface Stability: The tread cap should not interfere with the tread’s slip-resistant properties.
- Uniformity: Ensure that the tread cap does not create any uneven surfaces that could pose tripping hazards.
- Installation: Proper installation is crucial to ensure that the tread cap does not become a safety hazard or compromise the functionality of the tread.
