UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Trinity, the desirable northern suburb above Newhaven. We test floors wet and dry to BS 7976-2 and issue a report that stands up to insurers, the HSE and the Scottish courts.
Trinity is a district of Edinburgh known for the desirable northern suburb above Newhaven. Wherever the public or staff walk — period homes, surgeries and local shops — a duty holder has to manage the risk of slips, and a pendulum test is how you measure it objectively.
We attend sites across Trinity and test floors on location, wet and dry, using the portable pendulum to BS 7976-2 and BS EN 16165. Each area is given a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) and a plain low / moderate / high slip-potential classification, interpreted against UK Slip Resistance Group guidance.
An accredited slip test gives you objective evidence that you've assessed and managed slip risk — useful for routine safety management and essential if a claim is ever made. Because Edinburgh sits within the Scottish legal system, that evidence is read against the Occupiers' Liability (Scotland) Act 1960 in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session.
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.
