Quantifies the slip risk of flooring
April 1st 2007 Spectrum Metrology will be demonstrating the Surtronic Duo roughness tester to visitors at this year's Safety & Health Expo. Roughness measurement is a prerequisite of the HSE SAT software and the Surtronic Duo is well suited to flooring measurements due to its remote control operation. HSE research has shown that measurement of the Rz parameter allows slipperiness to be predicted for a range of common materials (Rz is a measure of total surface roughness, calculated as the mean of several peak-tovalley measurements). Use of the handheld Surtronic Duo requires minimal training and, when used in conjunction with the SAT software, gives a clear indication of the potential for slipping.
