Anti-slip floor testing
Slips and trips are the most common cause of injury at work. On average, they cause over a third of all major injuries and over 40% of all reported injuries to members of the public. HSE statistics suggest that most of these accidents are slips, most of which happen when floor surfaces are contaminated.
Carried out in-house and recognised by the Health and Safety Executive, the pendulum slip testing (BS7976) is recognised as a reliable and robust floor test. The test provides accurate analysis on the slip potential of all types of flooring. This slip testing can be used to portray barefoot and, or shod foot (shoes) and is completed in both wet and dry conditions.
