This guide collects information on various standards for evaluating slip resistance into a single document to assist owners and specifiers who must specify required slip resistance for a floor surfacing (or coating) in a given service environment. It contains recommended maintenance protocols for hard flooring surfaces to increase slip resistance@ and a sample form that can be used to investigate accidents and determine corrective actions. Explanations of terminology related to slip resistance@ descriptions of standard methods and testing equipment for assessing slip resistance@ and considerations when interpreting test results are also included.
