Quantifies slip risk
December 1st 2008 As authorised agent to Taylor
Hobson for the Surtronic
Duo roughness slipmeter,
Spectrum Metrology has
seen the number of industry
sectors using the HSE Slips
Assessment Tool increasing
significantly in 2008.
Roughness measurement
is a prerequisite of the HSE
SAT software and the
Surtronic Duo is well suited
to flooring measurements
due to its 'remote control'
operation.
HSE research has shown
that measurement of the Rz
parameter allows slipperiness
to be predicted for a range
of materials. Use of the hand
held Surtronic Duo requires
minimal training and, when
used in conjunction with SAT
software, gives a clear
indication of the potential
for slip. More articles from Spectrum Metrology Ltd: |
