Using the SAT tool

SAT will prompt you to gather relevant information concerning floor surface properties, contamination, cleaning regimes, footwear etc.

Enter the information into a laptop computer (preloaded with the SAT software) on site for an immediate assessment of a slip risk. You can also use SAT on a PC or online.

When all of the information is entered into SAT, a slip risk rating is produced. This will assist in determining whether site conditions are likely to give rise to a high or low risk of slipping.

The assessment can be repeated using alternative data such as different cleaning regime or footwear type etc. to produce a different [theoretical] slip risk rating. This is a very powerful way of demonstrating the importance of various slip risk control measures.
