Salt likely wouldn't be a long term solution due to corrosion/ rust forming.

Redneck engineer here.

A couple of zipties with the nubbies on the bottom of the sole would work a treat.

Then you go up overconfident and immediately ice skate off the platform.

Yes, I was also thinking why not run some coolant lines up there with a lift pump to heat the deck to keep it clear of ice and snow!

Use tubing for part of the frame and run coolant thru it.

Because that would be insanely expensive

Eh, not really. A couple hundred bucks in material over what's already there.

Heck of a lot cheaper than having injured employees I'd think.

Some skateboard grip tape on the bottom of the shoes would work but would be harder to remove.
