How slippery are your hard floors?

Slipping and tripping is the biggest cause of accidents in the workplace. These accidents often lead to more serious problems and most are preventable. Hard floors should be checked on a regular basis, especially after hard floor deep cleaning maintenance. The effectiveness of the cleaning regime can be monitored and this will let you know when it is time for a deep clean, an anti-slip treatment or a new floor.

NJC carry out floor slipperiness testing using the SlipAlert indicator to assess whether the floor is safe. SlipAlert has been designed specifically to correlate with the TRL Pendulum, the UK's 'Gold Standard' and the only slip resistance tester described in the British Standards. Four S rubber (hard shoe heel rubber) as specified in BS7976 is used for the test. SlipAlert testing complies with the Health & Safety Executive UK slip resistance guidelines. The test is carried out 3 times and the mean value of the reading is calculated.
