Slip and trip accidents are some of the most dangerous and costly causes of injuries around the world. Therefore, slip resistant flooring is a health and safety must-have for most industrial and commercial facilities, as otherwise it’s only a matter of time until a member of staff or customer suffers a painful and costly accident.
Slips and trips can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone. It’s important to address the slip resistance and maintenance of floors to prevent such accidents and enhance floor safety.
The diversity of slip resistant floors on offer means that there is a solution for any environment, whether it’s a shopping centre’s food hall, prone to dropped snacks and fizzy drinks or a heavy manufacturing plant that needs to account for oils, greases and fuel. For this purpose anti-slip floor treatment is done.

- Prevention of slip and fall accidents thereby avoiding litigation thus saving cost
- Safe working environment for staff and visitors thus increasing productivity
- Minimum or no disruption to business during application
- Reduces administration costs and protects the reputation of the facility or build
That is why pendulum slip test is done to examine the slip and trip condition of the floor in dry as well as in wet state.
