Slip Stoppers of Alabama
If someone slipped tomorrow, are you exposed?
A practical risk exposure checklist to help you identify unmeasured slip risk before an incident comes up.
Most walking surfaces are assumed to be safe because they look clean. Very few are formally tested for required traction. This checklist helps you identify where issues are in your facility.

Have your main walking surfaces ever been formally tested for traction?
In many companies, slip resistance is judged by appearance, not performance.
If the floor looks clean, it’s treated as safe. If no one has fallen recently, it’s considered acceptable.
But appearance is not always the best indicator of performance.
Slip-and-fall incidents are among the most common liability exposures in any business environment. Most are tied to walking surfaces, cleaning practices, or moisture conditions — not always the obvious hazards.
And formal traction testing rarely happens unless something goes wrong.

If you’re unsure whether your walking surfaces have been checked, this checklist helps you identify what has — and hasn’t — been tested.
Most organizations don’t evaluate traction until after someone gets hurt. The better time to test is before that happens.
If it hasn’t been tested, it’s still an unknown.
A floor that has never undergone slip resistance testing is an assumption, not a known condition. Our role is to replace assumption with measurement: structured DCOF testing, clear documentation, and practical recommendations only where needed. The priority is clarity over speculation and documentation before intervention.
Professional walkway evaluations aligned with ANSI/NFSI standards. Documentation available for audit, insurance, and risk management review.
