How slippery is your floor? To prevent slip accidents it is essential that you know. Surefoot Systems can provide a comprehensive slip assessment testing service using equipment fully approved by the HSE. A detailed report is provided following testing that gives slip resistance figures that are recognised by the HSE and United Kingdom Slip Resistance Group.

There are many different types of device for measuring Slip resistance. Surefoot Systems uses SlipAlert and Pendulum testing. SlipAlert is the only machine which has been specifically designed to correlate with the Pendulum, which has proven over many years experience to provide a reliable assessment of the slip resistance of flooring. The Pendulum has become the 'Gold Standard' of slip resistance testing in the UK.
