What is Slip-Resistant Flooring?
Slip-resistant flooring is designed with material properties to help reduce slipperiness and increase traction. These floors come in a variety of finishes and textures specifically designed to reduce slippage on the flooring surface.
The Benefits of Slip-Resistant Floors
Textured, slip-resistant flooring protects against hazardous conditions in your facility where liquids or other materials may come in contact with the floor causing people to slip.
Benefit highlights include:
- Preventing slip-and-fall accidents which cause employees or visitors physical and/or emotional trauma.
- Preventing financial loss (e.g. liability pay-outs, legal fees, an increase to insurance premiums, increased administrative costs) related to the medical expenses of an injured person or lost work time of an employee.

Slip-resistant flooring is a type of flooring system designed to minimise the risk of slips and falls by providing enhanced traction underfoot. It is often used in environments where safety is a priority.
The flooring system incorporates materials and textures that increase friction and grip, thereby reducing the likelihood of slipping, even when the surface is wet or oily.*
*This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user/owner of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use, including what slip resistance is best suited for its environment.
Slip resistance is typically measured using coefficient of friction (COF) values. These values indicate the level of traction between the flooring surface and footwear under specified conditions (dry, wet, oily).*
