The Pendulum Slip Resistance Floor Test

We are one of UKs leading slip resistance testing company, both for  on-site and sample testing. We can offer a service for slip assessment on your floors and tiles.

What is the pendulum test?

Contact Traffik on: 0800 298 5012 &  info@traffik.uk.com to book an on-site test or to arrange to send our Centre of Excellence a tile for slip assessment.

• Do you have slip issues? 
• Have you or your Environmental Officer assessed your floors and expressed concern about the risk of slip?
• Has someone fallen and made a claim?

Many companies know they have a slip issue but are unaware of the scale of the problem. Knowing the slip resistance of your floors forms part of your risk assessment and this is now a legal requirement.

The TRL Pendulum Slip Resistance Test is  the only assessment method recognised by the HSE and the Law Courts . Should someone fall on your floor and decide to make a claim, the only evidence that will be allowed in court in relation to the safety of your floors (or otherwise) will be Pendulum Test Results taken by an independent tester in the area in which the slip or accident occurred.
 

Traffik offer a full floor testing and evaluation service. The service extends from Pendulum testing to UK Slip Resistance Group Guidelines Issue 3 2005, through to the supply of monitoring tools such as the Slip Alert.
Traffik use the Pendulum Slip Test (BS7976) as the most reliable form of slip assessment and one adopted bythe HSE (Health and Safety Executive) and the UKSRG (United Kingdom Slip Resistance Group) as the standard HSE Test Method for the assessment of pedestrian slip potential.

Each Traffik office has access to a Pendulum Slip tester and is fully trained by SATRA to offer you accurate assessment. Each pendulum tester is fully calibrated as is the test ‘rubber heel’ after a pre- determined number of tests.

Traffik provide test results in two ways:

1.Assessment of Pedestrian Slip Potential (existing floor untreated):

   A slip resistance test report showing - Site Tested, Method Used, Results Obtained (SRVs) and whether the floor is suitable for purpose.

2.Assessment of Pedestrian Slip Potential post Traffik anti slip treatment:

  A compliance certificate to confirm the slip resistance of the floor surface following treatment based on the BS7976 standard.
