Do you provide slip testing for builders and construction projects?
Absolutely. We work with builders and construction companies to verify that newly installed floor surfaces meet the required P-ratings before handover. Testing during the construction phase ensures compliance from day one and protects you from liability issues after completion.
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 Australian Standards apply to slip testing?
The two key standards are AS 4586:2013 (Slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials) and AS 4663:2013 (Slip resistance measurement of existing pedestrian surfaces). AS 4586 applies to new flooring installations, while AS 4663 covers testing of floors already in use. Both standards use the wet pendulum test method.
