When the hazard itself can’t be removed, an anti-slip floor coating can be installed to give workers extra support in wet, dusty, or otherwise slippery situations.

ASSESSING THE SLIP RESISTANCE OF FLOORING:
Research carried out by HSL, in conjunction with the UK Slip Resistance Group (UKSRG) and the British Standards Institution, has shown that, portable scientific test instruments can accurately assess the slipperiness of flooring materials.
There are 2 instruments used.
- a pendulum, used in the pendulum coefficient of friction (CoF) test (HSE’s preferred method of slipperiness assessment
- a surface microroughness meter
These tests are carried out by independent surface consultants.
By checking the slip resistance of your surfaces, you can ensure that your flooring conforms to workplace regulations as required.
