Second only to automobile accidents, preventable slips, trips and falls account for 15% of accidental deaths.
Simply put, we identify the likelihood of a flooring surface causing a person to slip. Moore Engineering measures the dynamic coefficient of friction (or DCOF) of common hard-surface flooring materials. We take these measurements to determine the slip resistance of the subject flooring material. Knowing your floor’s slip resistance value helps you formulate your next steps and take action to avoid accidents.
As the responsible party for the inspection and safety of a facility, you should take reasonable effort to protect the public from risks and hazards. Protect yourself from negligence claims as well. Walkway Safety Auditing by Moore Engineering Services provides you with accurate information and guidance to avoid slips, trips and falls and, if need be, to support you in defending a claim. Furthermore, assessing risks can decrease insurance premiums and reserve requirements.
Any entity who is entrusted with the oversight of property where workers and the public will walk needs to know the safety of their walkways to minimize the probability of a slip or trip. Once you know the risks, you can either take action to make it better or rest assured that you’re protected should a claim arise.
Due to continually changing conditions, Moore Engineering is available to provide regular walkway audits at intervals that meet the specific needs of your facility. The amount of time required at your facility to complete these audits is dependent upon size and conditions of that facility. Upon completion of the audit, Moore Engineering will produce a report based on your specific objectives, which will include recommendations to reduce risk and documentation of testing and inspection results.
As outlined in ASTM Standards, Moore Engineering assesses all potential inherent hazards to your walkways. Such hazards include: cleaning methods and materials, tripping hazards, dynamic coefficient of friction, walk-off matting, potential contamination sources and snow and ice management, among many others. Our thorough audits will yield the detailed results you need to move forward with your plan to protect your company against accidents.
