Slip Check

For Building Consultants and Building Inspection Services and Building Inspection Services in Seven Hills go to Slip Check
Safe Environments provide slip test services throughout the life cycle of a building to assess compliance with relevant building codes and legislation. Our slip test laboratory provide initial slip test results and certification to demonstrate initial compliance of proposed surfaces within a building.

Slip Test Methods

The four slip test methods within the Australian Standards AS NZS 4586 Slip resistance classification of pedestrian surface materials comprise:

•Wet pendulum slip test
•Dry floor friction slip test
•Wet barefoot slip test
•Oil wet ramp slip test
Slip Test Certification

Safe Environments provide certification using slip test results and review of other important design features to ensure that your design complies with relevant building codes and legislation. In addition, Safe Environments can provide accelerated wear slip test results which provide a useful indicator of potential wear and the risk of slip over time. The accelerated wear slip test can mitigate the risk when specifying materials that have a propensity to drop in slip resistance over a relatively short period of time.

Slip Test Services for BCA Compliance

Our onsite slip test services provide verification that installed surfaces meet the requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) Standards Australia & CSIRO Handbook HB 197 An Introductory Guide to the Slip Resistance of Pedestrian Surface Materials. Slip test results that do not meet the recommendations of Standards Australia & CSIRO Handbook HB197 may not necessarily be unsafe. Safe Environments can provide further analysis of slip test results in conjunction with a risk assessment and evaluation of possible control measures.

Onsite Slip Test & Assessment Services

Ongoing slip test audits provide peace of mind to provide information to validate compliance. Regular slip tests will also indicate whether a surface has dropped significantly or if there are small ongoing changes to determine if interventional measures may be required. A slip test on sample treatments of anti slip, non slip or non skid treatments allows transparent, accountable information to conduct a cost benefit analysis.

Expert Witness Slip Test Services

If a slip accident occurs, Safe Environments have expert witness services to provide a detailed report based on slip test results to assess the situation on factual, relevant information. For more information, please contact Safe Environments on 02 9624 2600 or email info@safeenvironments.com.au to discuss our slip test services further.
