Is Your Floor a Slip Hazard?

Slippery floors are one of the leading causes of workplace injuries in Australia. Don't wait for an incident to find out.

The Problem

Wet floors, worn surfaces, and untested flooring create invisible slip hazards. Floor slip resistance deteriorates over time through wear, cleaning, and contamination.

The Risk

Slip injuries lead to serious harm, costly liability claims, WorkSafe investigations, and reputational damage. As a property or facility manager, you carry personal legal obligations.

The Solution

Professional slip testing by a qualified technician. Greg tests your floors to Australian Standards and delivers a comprehensive report with P-ratings and recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is slip testing?
Slip testing is the scientific measurement of a floor surface's slip resistance. Using calibrated equipment like the wet pendulum tester, we measure how slippery a floor is under wet and dry conditions. The results are classified using P-ratings (P0 to P5) according to Australian Standards AS 4586 and AS 4663.
Why do I need a slip test?
Slip testing helps you meet your legal obligations under Australian workplace health and safety laws. If someone slips and is injured on your premises, you could be liable if you haven't taken reasonable steps to ensure floor safety. A professional slip test provides documented evidence of your due diligence and identifies any surfaces that need attention.
What is a P-rating?
A P-rating is a classification of a floor's slip resistance when wet, measured using the wet pendulum test to AS 4586. Ratings range from P0 (very slippery) to P5 (excellent slip resistance). Different environments require different minimum P-ratings. For example, commercial kitchens typically require P4 or P5, while general indoor areas typically need P3 or above.
How long does a slip test take?
A typical slip test takes between 1 to 3 hours depending on the size of the area and the number of surfaces being tested. Greg will arrive at your premises with all necessary equipment and can test multiple floor surfaces in a single visit. You'll receive your report the same day or within 24 hours.
How much does slip testing cost?
Slip testing costs vary depending on the size of your premises and the number of surfaces to be tested. Greg offers competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us on 0438 726 695 for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific needs.
Who needs slip testing?
Any business or property owner with public-facing floor surfaces should consider slip testing. This includes facility managers, property managers, body corporates, aged care operators, hospitality venues, retail stores, builders, and anyone with a duty of care for people walking on their premises. Regular testing demonstrates compliance with workplace health and safety obligations.
