B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut four diamond plank, 144" Grating length, 9.5" Grating width, Aluminum, 2" Channel size, Grip Strut, .100" Thick

Yes. The 42010F Grip Strut four diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond-pierced surface is intended for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required. That is the reason it gets specified for catwalks, mezzanine walkways, and equipment access platforms rather than plain sheet or bar grating.

This plank is aluminum, so it won't rust the way a plain carbon steel plank will, which is why it gets used around wash-down areas, water and wastewater plants, coastal sites, and roof access. Aluminum is also the lighter option, which matters if crews are carrying 12 foot planks up a ladder. For heavy wheeled traffic or high point loads, steel planks are the usual choice instead.

It's 12 gauge material at .100 inch thick. On a submittal that is the number the engineer checks against the required load and span, along with the 2 inch channel depth that gives the plank its stiffness.

Four diamond describes how many rows of the pierced, raised diamond pattern run across the width of the walking surface. On this plank that pattern spans the 9.5 inch width. More diamond rows means a wider plank and fewer pieces to make up a given walkway width.

Aluminum plank at .100 inch thick cuts on site with a circular saw and a non-ferrous blade, which is how installers trim a 144 inch piece down to a shorter run or notch around a column. Field-cut ends should be deburred, and the plank still needs to land on and be fastened to supports at both ends to hold the 2 inch channel in place.
