AN OPPORTUNITY TO STOP PEOPLE FALLING

The authors, contributors and sponsors of CIRIA 652 have an extraordinary opportunity to make the 2009 edition a landmark document that dramatically reduces the number of serious slip accidents. Slips remain the biggest cause of serious accidents and yet it is possible to prevent most slip accidents.

Many managers don’t understand floor safety...

Many operational managers, cleaners, even H&S or floor safety specialists don’t know how to prevent slip accidents. They often don’t appreciate that slip resistance can change, how to assess the risks or how to spot lapses before somebody falls. more

Regular testing & management information

Regular testing of floors provides operational managers with trend analysis data and vital management information to help prevent most serious slip accidents. more

CIRIA 652 – 2009 Edition

CIRIA 652 already highlights many examples of how floors can become hazardous. The new edition must go further and provide practical answers on how to identify hidden dangers. It should advise on how and when to test floors, how to analyse the results and what actions can be taken to reduce slip risks in different situations. It should make a compelling case for regular slip resistance testing (Pendulum-correlated) and it should explain why this will dramatically reduce slip risks and will prevent many people from falling.

Regular Testing = Green

Regular Testing: cost-effective, safer, greener and DDA compliant
Most commercial buildings have a few “at risk” floors. Regular testing costs very little, tests the effectiveness of flooring and cleaning, helps avoid costly mistakes, and makes buildings safer for able and disabled users. Cumulative data can extend the life of quality floors, prevent unnecessary risks, wasted time or wasted costs on inappropriate flooring or cleaning materials.
Lack of clarity encourages bad practice
Some avoid testing for fear that it will expose slip risks and make them more liable. CIRIA 652 must offer clear advice on regular testing and promote an approach to improving floor safety, not sweeping the risks under the carpet.

Say yes to regular testing. Say yes to saving lives!
