Northern England - Specifying Safe Surfaces - Slip Resistance & Safety
Date: Friday 26 March 2021
This was an on-line event.
Topic: Health & Safety
Slip resistance is a critical factor to consider in any project, yet there is a lot of information out there which can become confusing: R9, DCOF, PTV, RZ, ABC… no wonder sometimes mistakes are made.
Further, most CPDs are given by material suppliers. Even if they give the right information, they are doing so with a commercial focus to convince you to choose their products. An agnostic view on this critical topic is arguably much more useful.
That’s why Slip Safety Services has produced a fully-independent CPD to cut through the noise and tell you what you really need to know.
In the CPD, Christian runs through why this topic is important and what you really need to know. But, importantly, he gives you the practical perspective of companies, the insurer viewpoint and the legal standpoint.
You will also receive access to three valuable free resources:
- The Slip Safety Scorecard: a digital diagnostic tool which sets out how a building performs against best-practice on the six reasons slips occur (CHIMES – Contamination, Heel, Individual, Maintenance, Environment, Surface)
- Slip Safety Specification Guide: another digital tool which allows you to discover the minimum wet slip resistance you should specify in different areas of buildings
- Anti-slip treatment sample service: technology has moved on and almost any floor surface from any supplier can now be anti-slip treated to enable you to specify on aesthetics knowing that safety can nonetheless be achieved
