Abschnitt 7 - 7 Measures to improve the slip resistance of installed floor coverings

If slipping accidents occur with greater frequency and this increase is attributed to lower slip resistance of the flooring, suitable measures are to be taken (for example, technical, organisational or personnel).

  • Optimisation of the cleaning and maintenance plan, for example:

    • Choosing appropriate cleaning agents and devices for the floor covering to improve its anti-slip properties

    • Analysing and, if needed, shortening cleaning intervals

    • Training the cleaning staff

If these changes do not have the desired effect, additional measures are to be taken, such as:

  • Mechanical or chemical treatment of floor coverings

  • Coatings

  • Replacement of the floor covering
