Floor Slip Testing

Slips, trips, and falls are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries—and flooring conditions are often a key contributing factor. LCE Workplace Safety use the latest floor slip testing technology to accurately measure the slip resistance of the floors in your workplace, therefore reducing the risk of an accident occurring.

Floor slip testing involves measuring the slip resistance of flooring surfaces under specific conditions.

It assesses how likely a person is to slip when walking on a surface, taking into account factors such as:

  • Surface material and condition
  • Contaminants (e.g. water, oil, dust)
  • Footwear interaction
  • Environmental conditions

Testing provides a clear, evidence-based understanding of whether a floor presents an unacceptable risk.

LCE Workplace Safety provides professional floor slip resistance testing to help organisations assess risk, demonstrate compliance, and take effective corrective action where required.

Our testing delivers objective, measurable results that support both safety improvement and legal defensibility.
