SlipAlert designed to correlate
 |
The HSE recognise SlipAlert as an accurate portable slip assessment tool. It has a very high correlation with the Pendulum, the de facto industry standard. Read the full HSE report written over 3 year ago. Since then, the HSE have growing eveidence that SlipAlert is robust, practical and the best portable floor testing tool. |
SlipAlert Pendulum Correlation
SlipAlert test results speak for themselves. There is a very high correlation between SlipAlert and the Pendulum in both wet and dry conditions across a range of surfaces. The HSE in the UK now accept that SlipAlert is a very good way to test foors and that it consistently gives accurate results wet or dry.

Each point of the graph corresponds to a measure of slip coefficient on a different surface as measured by SlipAlert and the Pendulum. The big advantage of SlipAlert is that it is portable, it works on both wet and dry surfaces and its so easy to use, anyone can do it.
HSE and HSL comments on SlipAlert correlation
You can read the full report below or via the HSE website.
HSL SlipAlert Evaluation
"The extended testing of SlipAlert showed a
good correlation with the Pendulum test..."
"SlipAlert should be regarded as a good indication of available friction,
lending itself to risk assessment, monitoring of floor surfaces and evaluating & monitoring
cleaning regimes"
"SlipAlert tends to give fail-safe readings"
HSE rated SlipAlert strengths...
Visual Measure of Slip Resistance
The visual effect is important. As you will find when you use SlipAlert, it is easy to see if an area of floor has a slip risk. |

HSE SlipAlert and floor cleaning...
SlipAlert is the best portable device we know of that will detect contamination on a floor. Contaminants change the slip resistance of a floor and many slip accidents are caused by contamination or poor cleaning. With SlipAlert you can prevent serious accidents.
"SlipAlert should be regarded as a good indication of available friction, lending itself to risk assessment, monitoring of floor surfaces and evaluating & monitoring cleaning regimes"
HSE Shattered Lives Campaign
In 2008 the HSE Shattered Lives Campaign remind us that slips are the biggest cause of accidents and that businesses have a duty of resposibility to keep floors safe.
HSE / HSL using SlipAlert
The HSE / HSL use SlipAlert. They have conducted indepth research to rpove that SlipAlert works and now each region has access to a SlipAlert.
