AT A GLANCE

Our aim is to provide the most accurate slip test information with professionalism, courtesy and with minimal disruption to our customers business operation.  Slips and trips consistently account for around 1 in 3 non-fatal major injuries, and for over 1 in 5 over-3-day injuries in workplace areas throughout Australia. It is the duty of every employer to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all his employees. Slip and fall accidents account for one third of all serious accidents at work. Employers should therefore ensure all floors are safe and should monitor the slip resistance of floors and monitor changes to slip risk.' Business safety procedures should include regular monitoring of floors and should test all new floors and changes to floors. Slip risk and monitoring floor slip resistance should be a part of a businesses risk assessment procedure
