Static Coefficient of Friction Measuring Kits. An everyday tool for monitoring floor safety and maintenance.
ASTM D 2047, ASTM C 1028
The new advanced digital slip meter performs static coefficient of friction testing. The updated electronics improves accuracy and repeatability on wet testing. The meter is now calibrated for dry and wet testing on the ASTM C1028 and for wet testing on the NFSI Test File.
Improve Safety — Reduce Negligence A simple test of the coefficient of friction level of your floors and walkways will provide valuable data about safety levels and ongoing maintenance. Daily recordings of readings in the log book provided is useful in defense of negligence litigation. Recent insurance studies in the food industry, an analysis of over 225,000 worker compensation claims, revealed that slip/fall accidents accounted for over 40% of dollar claims paid out.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) passed by Congress in July 1992 Title III notes: For all businesses open to the public, ADA and ATBCB recommends flooring and walkways have a coefficient of friction level .60 or above and .80 for ramps. There are severe penalties for failure to comply and tax benefits for those businesses taking steps to comply. OSHA sets many requirements for safe floors, walkways and ramps under 29 CFR-1910 referring to providing floors of anti-slip surfaces or maintaining surfaces in non-slip condition.
