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 is AS 4663?
AS 4663:2013 is the Australian Standard for slip resistance measurement of existing pedestrian surfaces. It provides the methodology for testing floors that are already installed and in use, helping property owners and facility managers verify that their floors maintain adequate slip resistance over time.
