    Slip Resistance Testing Melbourne

    Melbourne Slip Resistance Testing Services

    Floor safety is one of the greatest OHS hazards which account for some one-quarter of workplace injuries in Melbourne and Victoria. The Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2007 at clause 3.3.3 requires an employer to identify slippery surfaces. Safe Environments undertake slip resistance testing throughout Melbourne and Victoria through slip resistance testing in accordance with Australian Standards:

    • AS/NZS 4586:2004 Slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials
    • AS/NZS 4663: 2004 Slip resistance measurement of existing pedestrian surfaces; and

    The slip resistance testing methods we conduct in Melbourne include the wet pendulum test method for wet slip resistance testing and the dry floor friction testing method using the Tortus MKIII for dry slip resistance testing. All slip resistance testing is conducted to Australian Standards, or for specific projects we can provide additional floor testing for your specific needs.

We can provide a risk management matrix that is industry leading through our experience and the latest scientific studies.  Ongoing frequent slip resistance testing and monitoring is an important aspect to be proactive in identifying when interventional treatments may be required to reduce the risk of a claim.

    Slip Resistacne Testing for Expert Witness Opinions and Insurance Claims based in Melbourne

    Slip Check regularly provides expert witness services by undertaking NATA endorsed slip resistance testing with opinion based on up to date scientific literature. Many consultants only rely on Australian Standards; this does not provide a causal link as to why an incident may have occurred. Time and money can be wasted on a claim if evidence suggests that the floor was still reasonably safe to walk on. Our principle slip resistance consultant, Mr Carl Strautins has been involved in Standards Australia Committees for a number of years and previously conducted research at CSIRO in both Sydney and Melbourne.

    If a slip accident occurs, Safe Environments have expert witness services to provide a detailed report based on slip test results to assess the situation on factual, relevant information.
