Correctly textured concrete could help to increase grip in industrial workplaces without introducing trip hazards into the surface of the floor.
A survey from the Trades Union Congress (TUC) places slips, trips and falls among the greatest health and safety risks, according to workplace representatives.
The concern ranks alongside more commonly cited worries including bullying, harassment and stress.
With textured concrete, employers could give a practical demonstration that they are responding to such concerns by putting a non-slip surface in place.
Almost a third (32 per cent) of respondents to the survey said slips, trips and falls are among their concerns in the workplace.
Slightly more also identified back strain as a worry, showing that physical safety - and not just mental wellbeing - is still high on the agenda.
Textured concrete can come in a variety of visually appealing patterns, such as the hexagonal imprinted finish often used in agricultural enclosures.
