Our Capabilities

Daniels conducts floor slip testing using recognised Australian Standard test methods, including AS 4586 and AS 4663, where applicable.

Testing may include wet pendulum slip testing, dry floor testing and other appropriate methods depending on the surface, location and purpose of the assessment.

We assess the slip resistance of existing pedestrian surfaces in commercial buildings, workplaces, healthcare facilities, public environments and other properties.

Testing can assist property and facility managers to understand the current condition and performance of flooring and identify areas that may require further investigation or risk control.

Daniels can establish annual slip resistance testing and periodic monitoring programs for individual properties or larger property portfolios.

Periodic testing can help identify changes in floor performance caused by wear, cleaning practices, surface treatments, contamination and environmental exposure.

Daniels provides independent slip and fall investigation and testing following incidents.

The assessment may consider the measured slip resistance of the surface together with factors such as the location, environmental conditions, contamination, cleaning practices, gradients, changes in level and the way the area was being used.

Daniels provides slip resistance testing for new flooring and construction projects to assist builders, contractors, property owners and other stakeholders in understanding the measured slip resistance and classification of pedestrian surfaces.

Urgent testing can also be arranged where required to assist with project completion, handover or investigation of specific concerns.

We provide commercial floor slip testing for property owners, property managers, facility managers, healthcare organisations, government facilities, strata properties and other organisations responsible for pedestrian environments.

Testing can be undertaken across individual areas or multiple locations within a property portfolio.

Daniels reports provide more than a numerical test result.

Reports can include information about the surface tested, test conditions, measured Slip Resistance Value (SRV), relevant slip resistance classification and other observations relevant to the assessment.

Where appropriate, Daniels also provides practical recommendations for further investigation, monitoring or slip risk control.

Daniels provides technical assessment and slip and fall investigation services for insurers, legal advisers, property owners and other parties requiring independent technical information.

Bruce's engineering, materials and risk management background provides additional capability when considering the broader circumstances surrounding a slip-and-fall incident.
