Risk by Design: Why Post-Install Testing Matters More Than Pre-Check

Lab results don’t guarantee real-world safety. AS 4663–2013 testing confirms slip resistance of installed floors under actual use conditions.

How Often Should You Be Testing? A Risk-Based Guide

Slip resistance isn’t static. Wear, cleaning, and treatment changes can all affect safety. This guide outlines how often you should be testing surfaces under AS 4663:2013—based on risk, site type, and real-world triggers.

Can You Fail a Slip Test? Yes — Here’s Why

Surfaces can and do fail slip resistance tests—both in lab and onsite. Whether it’s a new tile rated under AS 4586:2013 or a worn floor checked to AS 4663:2013, results often fall short of what’s needed. This article explains why failure occurs, what happens next, and how to stay compliant.
