Independent wet & dry slip resistance testing to Australian Standards AS 4663, AS 4586 & HB 198. Defensible reports in your hands within 48 hours. Servicing Perth metro & country WA.
Independent on-site testing that gives you a scientific, defensible measure of how safe your floors really are - wet and dry.
The Wessex portable skid tester measures slip resistance under wet conditions, reported as a British Pendulum Number and P-rating.
The Tortus measures the coefficient of friction across a dry surface - the global benchmark for floor safety risk management.
Where floors fall short, we flag the hazard and point you to the right anti-slip treatment and trusted local subcontractors.
Wet & dry testing to AS 4586 to help meet the NDIS SDA Design Standard on new and existing dwellings.
Scheduled AS 4663 monitoring across your portfolio, with clear reports that support your duty of care and public-liability position.
Documented testing to support Aged Care Quality Standard 3 (Safe) and falls-prevention programs.
AS 4586 handover testing for new builds and fit-outs, referenced to the National Construction Code (NCC).
Wet-area, entry and back-of-house testing to manage slip risk in high-traffic public spaces.
Testing for schools, childcare, council facilities, pools and public buildings.
Slips and trips account for around 1 in 5 serious workplace injuries in Australia. Under WHS law, every employer has a duty to keep floors safe - and to monitor them as surfaces wear, get sealed, or change.
A SlipGuard test turns "we think it's fine" into a documented, scientific record - the kind of evidence that stands up to auditors, insurers and courts.

We test wet and/or dry across multiple locations to the relevant AS standard.
Results are classified to HB 198 guidance, with hazardous areas clearly highlighted.
A comprehensive written report is distributed to your relevant personnel.
National testing firms fly in from the east coast. We're based here. That means faster scheduling, local knowledge, and a real person on the end of the phone - for sites from the CBD to the Goldfields.
Every test references the current Australian Standards and Handbook relied on by the NCC, insurers and the courts.
We test and report against the frameworks your project or auditor references - including the National Construction Code (NCC), the NDIS SDA Design Standard and the Aged Care Quality Standards - using the Australian Standards below.

Get a quote →Wet pendulum testing (Wessex) measures slip resistance when a surface is wet and reports a P-rating (P0–P5). Dry floor friction testing (Tortus) measures the coefficient of friction on a dry surface. Many sites need both, depending on where water is likely to be present.
P-ratings classify wet slip resistance from P0 (lowest) to P5 (highest). Most commercial areas need P3 or P4 under the National Construction Code, with P4-P5 expected in high-risk wet zones like pool surrounds. Your report states the measured rating and what it means for compliance.
A comprehensive written report is produced and distributed to your relevant personnel within 48 hours of the on-site test. Hazardous or at-risk areas are clearly highlighted.
Yes. SlipGuard is Perth-based and tests across both metro and country WA - including Mandurah, Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie and beyond. Get in touch with your location and we'll sort scheduling.
Slip resistance changes invisibly as floors are sealed, cleaned, polished or worn. A "fine-looking" floor can fall below safe ratings. Regular testing is part of a sound WHS risk-assessment process and gives you documented evidence of due diligence.
