Learn how the ASTM has decided to protect insurance companies by not publishing test methods that will prevent slip and fall injuries, but only finding “peculiar ways” of defending instruments that lack precision to help win lawsuits at any cost. The AFSA is publishing science-backed slip test methods to help prevent slips before they happen.

Engineering Safer Surfaces: How Safety Direct America Is Redefining Slip Prevention
Learn how data-driven testing and real-world analysis are improving floor safety and reducing slip risks. There is science, and there are unreliable tests only used in America – designed to help sell slippery flooring with a false sense of security, and tests only used in courtrooms after a catastrophic injury has occurred. The AFSA strives to stop slips before they happen.

American Floor Safety Alliance Introduces New Pendulum-Based Floor Safety Testing Standard
A new pendulum-based testing standard in the USA improves how slip resistance is measured using real-world conditions and scientifically reliable methods. The AFSA was created to helps stop slip and fall injuries, while most American slip tests are created to help sell slippery floors or win slip injury lawsuits using unproven or imprecise test methods. The AFSA exists to protect the American pedestrian against these bad test methods and bring American science back to stopping slip injuries.
