Online
Typically, an architect, contractor, or other specifier sets out to create a safe and healthy structure. Attention goes to airflow, natural light, moisture resistance as well as other health and safety factors. But if the flooring is slippery, and not tested or certified as slip-resistant, the occupants of the building may slip and fall, suffering dire consequences.
This course looks at the massive negative costs of slips, trips, and falls, especially as they relate to flooring. It also defines what slip-resistance is, and how it is measured and certified. Also covered are the other factors that make a slip-resistant floor more durable and sustainable, often contributing to green building rating system points.
Learning Objectives
Identify the dangers of slips, trips, and falls, and the role of flooring in causing or preventing these hazards.
Describe how slip-resistant flooring is measured, tested, and certified.
Discuss places where slip-resistant and durable flooring is needed for health and safety.
Explain factors of durability, sustainability, and LEED credits potential, for slip-resistant flooring.
