Tribometer floor testing is one of the most effective methods for evaluating floor traction and identifying potential slip hazards in real-world environments. Facility managers, property owners, hospitals, banks and commercial building operators use this testing process to measure slip resistance directly where people walk every…

Hiring a slip testing company is one of the most effective ways businesses can proactively reduce slip-and-fall risks, improve floor safety, and protect themselves from costly liability claims. Professional floor slip resistance testing measures the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) of walking surfaces to determine…

A floor safety evaluation is a professional assessment that measures the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) of a hard surface floor under real-world conditions. Unlike a visual inspection, it produces measurable traction data that reveals whether a surface is safe to walk on particularly when…

The ANSI A326.3 Test is an important standard used to evaluate floor safety in commercial environments. It uses Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) measurements to determine how much traction a floor surface provides under normal walking conditions. For property managers, facility managers, hospitals, banks, and…
