What is the minimum Pendulum Test Value (PTV) recommended by the HSE for pedestrian traffic in wet conditions?
The 36+ PTV benchmark For typical pedestrian traffic where floors can be wet or contaminated, aim for a minimum PTV of 36 or higher. In the HSE/UKSRG risk model, PTV ≥ 36 is classified as “low slip potential,” which is the benchmark dutyholders target to demonstrate a safe walking surface in wet use. Why “wet” […]
What Are the Legal Implications of Not Having a Safe, Slip-Resistant Floor in a Public Building?
Imagine walking into a public building—a shopping mall, hospital, or train station—and suddenly slipping on a wet floor. It’s painful, embarrassing, and potentially life-changing. For property owners and managers, it’s not just a safety issue; it’s a serious legal risk. Having a floor that isn’t slip-resistant doesn’t just increase the chance of injury—it can open […]

Frequently Asked Questions – Pendulum Slip Resistance Testers
Frequently Asked Questions – Pendulum Slip Resistance Testers 1.What is the measuring range and accuracy of your pendulum slip resistance tester? Most pendulum slip resistance testers measure within a range of 0–150 Pendulum Test Value (PTV), with an accuracy typically within ±1 PTV. This ensures reliable results for both high- and low-friction surfaces. Does the […]
Why a Handheld Anemometer Matters
A handheld anemometer is a portable device that measures wind speed. Some models also check airflow, temperature, humidity, or even barometric pressure. People use handheld anemometers for outdoor sports, aviation, sailing, HVAC balancing, research, and even drone piloting. Basically, if wind or air flow matters, these devices belong in your toolkit. Types of Handheld Anemometers […]
