Oil / Grease Risk Rating

£199.00

Streamlined testing procedure to establish slip risk on flooring contaminated with grease or oil, uses a smooth ceramic surface with 80% Glycerol solution, as a challenging high-viscosity contaminant:

Four outcomes of slip risk reported:

  1. Very High Risk

  2. High Risk

  3. Moderate Risk

  4. Low Risk

For those working in challenging conditions, this adds to the basic wet assessmnet, building up a better picture of the overall slip risk. Ideal to ensure current footwear selection is appropriate and for making decisions on future purchasing.

These are defined according to the widely used measures of slip risk based on biomechanical work to establish the required firction for normal walking, on a level surface, at normal pace. Slopes and increased pace increase risk, so whilst 1 in 1,000,000 may seem incredibly low, it would allow for some riskier activity. Definitions:

  1. More than 1 in 2 people need more friction

  2. Fewer than 1 in 2 people need more friction

  3. Fewer than 1 in 200 people need more friction

  4. Fewer than 1 in 1,000,000 people need more friction

In reality, with oil and grease contamination on a smooth surface, no footwear is likely to reach the low risk category, but this assessment can help to seperate footwear that is more suitable, where perhaps the risk on water is the same.
