Slip Resistance Testing
Safe Space Ingenuity, Inc. provides in-field slip resistance testing (Coefficient of Friction testing) on all hard walkway surfaces according to the American National Standard (ANSI) A326.3, “Test Method for Measuring Dynamic Coefficient of Friction of Hard Surface Flooring Materials.”
SSI tests using the BOT-3000E Tribometer
Slip resistance testing:
Validate COF measurements on new floor surfaces prior to occupancy
Monitor effectiveness of maintenance protocols and products
Identify pedestrian traffic patterns and available slip resistance
Determine compliance with industry standards
Third Party Audit Report
Upon completion of slip resistance testing an audit report will be prepared in accordance with the ASTM F1694-14, “Standard Guide For Composing Walkway Surface Investigation, Evaluation, and Incident Report Forms for Slips, Stumbles, Trips, and Falls,” and the ASTM F2048-00, “Standard Practice for Reporting Slip Resistance Test Results.” Audit Reports document compliance with standards.
Third Party Audit Reports Include:
An executive summary of the ANSI A326.3 American National Standard “Test Method for Measuring Dynamic Coefficient of Friction of Hard Surface Flooring Materials”
All DCOF Measurements and a statistical analysis of DCOF results
Testing diagram with test location(s) and testing conditions identified
A description of the hard surface flooring conditions, as per ASTM standards
Tribometer reports which include a timestamp, date stamp, temperature, humidity, photos, and graphs of each individual DCOF sample
