Sliptember 2026: Reduce slip risk by 50,000x using science? Here’s how…

Most organisations manage slip risk on gut feel: a visual inspection, a "looks fine to me," a bit of common sense. But floors don't fail on instinct, they fail on friction. And friction can be measured with the same scientific precision used in aviation and automotive testing, turning a 1 in 20 chance judgement call into a 1 in 1,000,000 data point (based on HSE data).

Join Christian Harris, founder of Slip Safety Services and author of Prevent Slip Accidents with Slipology, for a practical look at how objective floor testing is transforming slip risk management for organisations across the UK. You'll learn what "50,000x more accurate" actually means, why 67% of businesses have never tested their floors, and how measurement, not guesswork, closes the gap between feeling safe and being able to prove it.
