Abstract:
This data sheet examines the factors influencing the slip resistance of a surface and methods of measuring, specifying, achieving, maintaining and improving slip resistance. If focuses on the factors related to the concrete floor or pavement surface that impact on the risk of slipping, which include the surface finish, texture and applied sealer (if present) that combine to produce a final surface roughness.
