SLIP RESISTANCE TESTING
|
|
|
ATTAR provide a comprehensive slip resistance testing service
both on site and in our laboratory. We have many years experience
in slip resistance testing, including slip accident investigations
and hold NATA accreditation for wet slip resistance testing.
ATTAR has just commissioned its own Inclined Ramp Tester (German
Ramp Test) in our Melbourne laboratory and are now able to conduct
in house testing to the current Australian Standard AS/NZS 4586
- 2004 Appendix D. This testing produces a slip resistance rating
for the floor surface which yields a R classification such as
R9, R10, R11, R12 & R13

Testing and investigations
- Slip accident investigations conducted by Engineers with
years of slip accident investigation and testing experience.
Evidence has been presented in Supreme, Federal, County Magistrates
and Coroners court. Routine testing conducted in Shopping Centres
and public buildings on monthly, quarterly or yearly basis,
dependant upon customer's requirements. This provides a risk
assessment of the floor surface to AS/NZS 4663 - 2004 and monitors
variations in cleaning programs or environmental changes caused
by such things as wear or building renovation.
- Setting up regimes to evaluate the slip resistance of
a surface, changes to that surface due to maintenance products
or the application of "anti-slip" agents.
- Risk Assessments conducted to meet your OHS requirements.
