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. We also provide practical remedial solutions for slippery floors to help ensure safer walking surfaces.
We actively publish floor slip resistance safety testing methods based on more than 50 years of international research conducted across dozens of countries and multiple continents. Our focus is on evidence-based approaches that reflect real-world pedestrian movement and environmental conditions.
At the American Floor Safety Alliance, we prioritize scientific measurement and objective evaluation of walkway safety. Our organization is committed to promoting testing methods that meaningfully assess slip potential during actual walking conditions. For this reason, we do not support the use of static coefficient of friction (SCOF) testing to evaluate floor safety, as static measurements do not represent the dynamic motion involved in real slip events.
Our mission is simple: advance accurate testing, transparent research, and practical solutions that help people properly evaluate floors and prevent avoidable slip-and-fall injuries.
