Enhancing Floor Safety with Stair Nosings and TGSIs

Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSIs) are raised tactile studs or bars installed on the ground. These products provide crucial orientation cues and/or warning in public spaces. Individual studs are installed as units, drilled into the ground (ideal for retrofitting) and as mats, which are glued to the surface.
They are key for floor safety requirements in public spaces – especially for the vision impaired. They are typically installed at the top or bottom of staircases, ramps or crossings.

Stair nosings are a great way to ensure stair and floor safety for everyday pedestrian traffic. The ‘nose’ of a step is where people put their feet and weight on the stair, leading it to wear out over time. Installed to prevent the risk of slips and falls, stair nosings are profiled strips of material, commonly aluminium, fitted to the edge of steps (a.k.a. the ‘nose’) to provide an anti-slip surface. According to AS1428.1, Australian Standard Design for Access and Mobility Part 1, stair nosings are a general requirement for access across all new building work.
