"Having a pendulum slip test carried out made us realise our floor could cause a serious accident - we have now put control measures in place to reduce the chance of slip injury" Graham Taylor, Operation Manager at Silcot Spa and hotel.

Areas we Pendulum slip test in:

  • Receptions - Swimming pools.
  • Bathrooms - Restaurants.
  • Warehouses - Factories.
  • Kitchens - Store rooms.
  • Atriums - Shopping malls.

Pendulum slip testing can help prevent accidents like this happening.

 

The HSE suggests once a floor meets or exceeds 36 + on the pendulum the likelihood of slipping dramatically reduces.


Do you need a pendulum slip test? Requesting to have a pendulum slip test carried out is a very specific requirement. Apart from the fact it's the preferred slip method recognised by the HSE.

Knowing the slip resistance of your floors forms part of your risk assessment, this is now a legal requirement.

Two of the other most common reasons are:

  • It's a requirement you have been asked for as part of the specification.
  • You want to find out if your floor would hold you liable should you witness an accident.
Although there are other methods of testing it's the BS7976 Pendulum readings that would be required in a UK court of law.

Fact: 30% of the floors we tested passed and legally required no further action. Don't presume because somebody has slipped over, your floors are unsafe - a certified floor will prove you are providing due diligence and render you less liable against expensive slip injury claims.

Our 5 Point Floor Risk Assessment

Being able to provide pendulum slip results is one thing but we believe it's just as important to offer you a full risk assessment of the floor including:

  • BS7976 Pendulum Test
  • Advise on cleaning regime.
  • Quantify the areas where more slips may occur.
  • Suggest solutions to reduce slip injury.
  • Provide report on findings and summary of site visit.
