Slip Testing for Property Managers
Protect your tenants, reduce your liability, and demonstrate compliance across every property in your portfolio with professional slip resistance testing.
Managing Risk Across Multiple Properties
Property managers juggle compliance across dozens of buildings. Floor safety is one obligation you cannot afford to overlook, because a single slip incident can create significant financial and legal exposure.
The Problem
Common areas across managed properties experience constant foot traffic. Tiles in lobbies, stairwells, and car parks wear down over time, and cleaning chemicals can reduce surface grip without any visible change.
The Consequence
A tenant or visitor slip injury can result in personal injury claims against you and the property owner. Without documented evidence of floor safety compliance, defending these claims becomes extremely difficult.
The Solution
Regular slip testing by a qualified technician creates a documented safety record for each property. Greg provides consistent, standards-compliant reports that protect both you and your property owners.
Property managers occupy a unique position in the floor safety landscape. You are responsible for maintaining safe environments across properties you do not own, on behalf of owners who may not understand their obligations. This dual responsibility means you need clear, professional documentation that satisfies both your duty of care and your reporting obligations to landlords.
Greg Collins at Surface Test Australia works with property managers across Melbourne who manage commercial, retail, and residential portfolios. He understands that you need efficient scheduling across multiple sites, consistent reporting formats, and clear recommendations that owners can act on. Whether you manage five properties or fifty, Greg can develop a testing schedule that covers your entire portfolio systematically.
Every report is produced to AS 4663:2013 standards and includes P-ratings for each surface tested, an assessment of whether each area meets the minimum requirements for its classification, and prioritised recommendations for any remediation needed. These reports provide the evidence you need to demonstrate proactive risk management to owners, insurers, and regulators alike.
