Suggested steps and hazards for Resin flooring
What it offers for prime and coat resin before you have answered anything.
Check the product and floor conditions
- Check the named resin system, floor condition, temperature and moisture limits before you start.
- Stop if the product instructions do not match the floor or the room.
Hazard
The wrong product or conditions leave a failed coating or expose workers.
Who might be harmed and how
Resin flooring team and nearby workers
Controls in place
- Use the identified product label and technical information for this job.
Resin only bonds and cures properly within the product conditions.
Sikafloor®-156 Prepare a clean, sound floor
- Remove dirt, oil, laitance, loose material and old coating that the product does not allow.
- Complete agreed repairs and let them reach the required condition before coating.
Hazard
The coating debonds from a dirty, weak or damp floor.
Who might be harmed and how
Resin flooring team and floor users
Controls in place
- Do not coat over a floor that is not clean, dry and sound.
- Keep repair products within their own instructions.
A sound prepared floor gives the resin a surface it can bond to.
Sikafloor®-156 Vacuum the floor before coating
- Use vacuum extraction to remove dust after preparation.
- Do not dry sweep dust into the room or into the coating.
Hazard
Dust spoils adhesion and can damage workers’ lungs.
Who might be harmed and how
Resin team and other workers
Controls in place
- Use suitable extraction and keep other people out of the dust.
Dust left on the floor weakens the bond and becomes airborne when swept.

Method statement
The sequence of the work, step by step. The suggestions are a starting point; you write the method for the job as it will be done.
Risk assessment
Each hazard, who could be harmed, the controls in place and any further action. There is no risk score: you judge each row against the real site, and adding a hazard does not put its controls in place.
