Many people assume that a shiny floor is slippery.
This is not true if the floor finish meets the ASTM D2047 standard of static coefficient of friction as measured by the James Machine, the only recognized test method for slip resistance. Your chemical distributor should be able to provide this information as well as documentation of sufficient liability insurance as well as the chemical manufacturer s expert witness program. Don t accept any excuses. Clean the floor on a regular basis using the appropriate equipment and chemicals. Use the chemical manufacturer and distributor to provide regular training in correct procedures.
