Every test method recognised by the HSE, building control bodies, insurers and the courts — delivered under UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.
The pendulum test is the HSE's preferred method for assessing slip risk in the UK. It measures the dynamic coefficient of friction between a rubber slider (representing a shoe heel) and the floor surf...
