Q. Why is anti-slip flooring essential?
A. Anti-slip flooring has several benefits as mentioned above and is absolutely essential in a pool setting as every year thousands of accidents occur at swimming pools due to improper flooring. The bottom line is that anti-slip flooring prevents slip-and-fall accidents thereby avoiding litigation and thus saving costs. A safe working environment for both staff and visitors is also vital.
Q. What is the Pendulum Test?
A. The pendulum test determines the level of friction offered by a floor or surface when walked on. It can measure the slip potential of both wet and dry flooring. The test is the subject of a British Standard (BS 7976: Parts 1-3, 2002) and is recommended by the HSE (Health and Safety Executive).
Passing the pendulum test shows authorities, insurance companies and lawyers that you have suitably safe flooring which can protect you should you be taken to court or indeed prevent claims from the onset.
Q. Why is epoxy resin hygienic?
