This program is useful for architects, interior designers, contractors, and owners to understand the potential hazards that might exist in buildings. There have been some recent changes in the building code that have placed the designer in a position to determine the slip resistance requirements for different locations in the building. This program will discuss the equipment, methods, and interpretation of the data obtained from testing. The program will cover Slips (floor slip resistance), Trips (stairs, steps, ramps and elevation change). and Falls (guards, window opening protection, grab bars and handrails). A number of case studies will be presented to show the actual application and corrective work that can be done.

Learning objectives

Attendees will be able to:
  1. Explain the various code requirements that exist in selection of slip resistant walking surfaces
  2. Describe the different types of equipment for measuring the slip resistance of walking surfaces and how those measurements can be used to compare materials
  3. Apply the knowledge on the codes, standards, and materials to the design of their projects to reduce the potential for slips and trips
  4. Describe the conditions that can converge and create falls of building occupants
