Walkway Safety
OUR SERVICES
Any responsible party for the inspection and safety of a facility, reasonable effort must be used to protect the public from risks and hazards; and help protecting from negligence claims.
Walkway safety auditing by The IBIS Group provides you with accurate information and guidance to reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls incidents. Furthermore, assessing risks can decrease insurance premiums and reserve requirements.
This test allows to quantitatively identify the likelihood of a flooring surface causing a person to slip.
The IBIS Group measures the dynamic coefficient of friction (or DCOF) of common hard-surface flooring materials. These measurements provide the slip resistance of the subject flooring material.
Knowing and monitoring your floor’s slip resistance helps you formulate your next steps and take action to avoid accidents, reduce insurance premiums and protect you from negligence claims.
