Zone Garage offers solutions specifically for outdoor / poolside surfaces - you can see it in the link below. I also edited my original post for clarity.

I presume this is the only product that was being considered in their scope of work since I can't imagine anyone wanting a surface can become slippery near their pool (they wouldn't have considered it unless the surface was non-slip), plus it's the duty of the professional to only offer solutions that are safe for the intended area.

I forgot to mention this in my previous post, but the person that scoped the work originally wasn't present when the job was being performed, so it's possible miscommunication might've happened there.

In my garage the flakes are flat on the ground and are covered with a layer of clear coating. There's a bit of grip when it's dry, but it does get slippery when wet. I often walk into my garage barefoot or with socks without a problem when it's dry.
