The UKSRG promote themselves as a ‘world-leading independent authority on slip resistance’. The purpose of the group is: -
Bring together regularly experts from across the UK and the world in floors, pavements and roads in respect to, manufacture; maintenance; cleaning; research and slip resistance testing to correlate information and make recommendations.
Understand the causes of slips and the ways to reduce floor slips.
To advise the UK HSE (as well as other non-UK Health and Safety groups) and other interested parties on how to provide floors safe against slips
To issue reports and studies (free or low cost) on floor safety
And finally... To prepare, publish and regularly update very comprehensive GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSING THE SLIP RESISTANCE OF FLOORS. The Guidelines heavily augment (and often do a better job) than the data found in the various British and European Floor Testing Standards. The guidelines are regularly updated, particularly when a new British / European Floor Testing standard is released and the cost at less than (GBP) £100 is far better value than is often found in the more expensive British / European standards
