Proven Science. Real Safety
Ensuring your floors are safe & compliance
We set the standards for real slip-resistance credibility.
AFSA evaluates pedestrian surfaces using test methods backed by more than five decades of research, with the British Pendulum as our primary benchmark for human traction. We verify results with additional instruments to monitor performance over time. Our role is to determine whether a surface is truly safe — and to certify the products, materials, and professionals that meet AFSA requirements. The safety of your floors is our priority!
Why Choose Us?
We offer proven and recognized methods for evaluating floor safety. Our technologies and expertise ensure your floors remain slip-resistant and safe.
Proven Testing Methods
Utilizing the pendulum dynamic coefficient of friction tester, recognized in over 50 nations.
Accurate Monitoring
Instruments like the BOT-3000E and SlipAlert/iAlert to monitor flooring and track changes in
slip resistance over time.
Expert Remedial Solutions
Tailored solutions to address and mitigate slippery floor hazards. Our founders offer anti-slip floor treatments and anti-slip floor coatings for any king of floor or tub imaginable.
Decades of Experience
The pendulum utilizes over 50 years of research into real-world slip and fall incidents, ensuring floor safety and compliance. The pendulum has a peer-reviewed published test method in over 50 nations on five continents.
OUR SERVICES
Our services include reliable, research-based floor slip resistance testing services. We also provide remedial solutions for slippery floors that ensure safety.
Soon we will also be publishing floor slip resistance safety test methods, as too many American tests have been written by people from the flooring and tile industry (which is like the fox guarding the hen-house), and people with a vested interest in calling slippery floors not slippery.
We use science at the American Floor Safety Alliance, and we exclude as members anyone who uses static coefficient of friction (SCOF) test methods to assess floor safety, and anyone who has a vested interest in anything other than helping people assess the safety of floors to stop preventable slip and fall injuries.
