The Slips assessment tool (SAT) is a freely downloadable computer software package that allows an operator to assess the slip potential of pedestrian walkway surfaces.
Use SAT to gather relevant information concerning floor surface properties, contamination, cleaning regimes, footwear etc.
Obtain an immediate assessment of a slip risk by entering the information into a laptop computer (preloaded with the SAT software) on site
The SAT is used in conjunction with a small, portable surface microroughness meter, which users must obtain separately. There are a number of commercially available meters but please note that the Health & Safety Executive does not specifically endorse any of them.
