The portable pendulum is the HSE's preferred method for assessing floor slip resistance. It swings a rubber slider across the surface to simulate a heel strike and returns a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) for each area.
We attend sites across Edinburgh and the Lothians, test on location with minimal disruption, and issue a UKAS-accredited report. Because we're independent and don't sell anti-slip treatments, the results you receive are impartial.
Edinburgh sits within the Scottish legal system, where occupiers' duties arise under the Occupiers' Liability (Scotland) Act 1960 and personal-injury claims are heard in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session rather than the English courts. A UKAS-accredited pendulum report gives you robust, independent evidence of the floor's slip resistance that stands up under that framework.
