Our Training in Floor Testing...

We can train up to 6 candidates in one 3 to 4 hour session (same one-off price for 1 person as 6 persons) in the method of using the floor slip resistance testing equipment. 

We can train you on your own floor testing equipment or we will provide equipment to test upon.

All trainees will get to use the equipment and learn to understand what is required to prevent slippery floors and how to avoid slip injury claims, which is critical considering the cost associated with non-slip injuries (See Articles)

Price Of Floor Testing Courses...

We asked, some years ago, the UK HSE for a price for a training course for someone buying new floor pendulum test equipment from FloorSlip, and we were quoted over £4,000 per person for a 4 hour training course!!; The trainees also had to attend the HSE and no final certificate to say they were competent!.

FloorSlip offer the 4 hour training for up to 6 persons at just 5% of the HSE price - that’s a huge saving of over £20,000 on 6 persons!! - Or the alternative is we Conduct On-Site Floor Testing once a year for  over 40 years for the same price!

On site floor testing training at your premises... 

We come to you and conduct the training course at your site on your floors. So, there are no hotel / travel costs for your employees; limited time away from the work face; no risk assessments to conduct; and you get your floors tested and certificated for free.
