Many thanks to Tony M and B D Finch for their contributions !
Marielle Akamatsu (asker) Dec 11, 2019:
@ B D Finch I confirm Tony's remark concerning the cabinet: my question concerns the (large) cabinets of a food processing machine (e.g. ovens, smokehouses, etc.), on which it is necessary to be able to walk for installation, maintenance and repairing purposes.
Tony M Dec 11, 2019:
@ BDF Probably a large ELECTRICAL etc. cabinet in an industrial context — the sort of place it is sometimes necessary to be able to walk on.
B D Finch Dec 11, 2019:
@Asker Agree with Tony's comments, but rather puzzled by your "the roof of a cabinet". Cabinets don't generally have roofs, as they are pieces of furniture. For the same reason, one doesn't walk on a cabinet.
Tony M Dec 10, 2019:
@ Asker To answer your last qesution: I'd say not for the 'gritty surface' — the whole point of 'tread' is that it implies some kind of raised, sculpted forms, like your 'tôle armé', or like on a car tyre. This would not normally be used in EN to describe something that is simply 'rough' or 'gritty'.
Marielle Akamatsu (asker) Dec 10, 2019:
@ Tony Thank you for the clarification about 'tread'.<br><br>
In fact the document also mentions 'diamond plate' (tôle larmée) for the same type of floor in the plant, which corresponds to the metal covering you mention.<br><br>
Could 'tread decking' refer to a gritty surface as in the following:<br>

Tony M Dec 10, 2019:
@ Asker I think this refers to some kind of floor covering, often aluminium or steel, that has a raised 'tread' pattern — typically, little sort of diamond-shaped bumps — so as to make it less slippy.

This is one kind, although there are many other designs:

Please note that here, 'tread' refers to the raised pattern (like on a tyre) and does NOT refer to the treads on stairs (although of course this type of material is indeed commonly used on stairs too!)

Additional information This safety measure applies to the roof of a cabinet.

revêtement de marche

disagree Tony M : The kind of 'tread' here is not a 'marche', plus you have missed out the non-slip aspect.

bande antidérapante

Je le dirais ainsi...
Peer comment(s):
disagree Tony M : This is not any kind of 'bande', it is an actual flooring material ('decking') / In EN, we do not call a 'bande' 'decking'

Sur un meuble... C'est probablement bien une bande
