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.
