Slip testing

Workplace slips and falls can put employees and visitors at risk of injury and lead to additional costs for your business so it's important to make slip prevention an important part of any risk management programme. Slip testing can help you identify potential slip risks in your premises.

Our Liability Risk Consultants offer a site-specific Slip Risk Management Review, helping you identify and manage potential slip hazards. Using a slip testing device, we measure the slip resistance of flooring to assess the likelihood of slipping and provide objective, evidence-based data on the level of risk present.

Our assessment considers key factors, including type of flooring, contamination, cleaning practices, footwear and human factors. The result is a tailored report with practical recommendations to improve safety, support informed decision making and help to reduce the likelihood of future slip-related incidents and claims.
