What values must my floor achieve to ‘pass’ the slip test?

It is important to note that Pendulum testing should not be considered as providing a pass/fail value. The legal requirement is that the surface is safe, posing an acceptably low risk of slip in the conditions of end use. It is the responsibility of the duty holder to manage the risk of slipping, taking into account foreseeable contamination.

Many factors can affect the risk of a slip. The Slip Potential Model provides a framework on which to base a risk assessment.

UKSRG members can provide a suitable risk assessment.
