Floor Slip Resistance Testing
On-
The floor slip resistance tests are done with a Tracscan tribometer. The instrument incorporates the latest technology and is approved by the National Floor Safety Institute. Its superior performance in multiple laboratory studies ensures that it produces accurate, reliable, and repeatable results.
Testing is performed to the ANSI/NFSI B101.1 and B101.3 standards. I trained at the National Floor Safety Institute to earn the ANSI accredited designation of Walkway Auditor Certificate Holder (WACH). Testing will include measurement results and an interpretation of the results as it relates to pedestrian safety. As a Certified Forensic Litigation Consultant I am experienced in explaining and defending slip resistance tests in legal matters.
