The new ASM 825A slip meter is one of the world’s most widely used instruments for measuring slip resistance. It provides a quick and simple way to assess the coefficient of friction on floors, walkways, and ramps, delivering valuable safety and maintenance data. The included logbook allows users to record readings, which can be useful in defending against negligence claims.
“This slip meter sets the standard for safety testing—it’s easy to use, provides accurate results in seconds, and is trusted worldwide for preventing and defending against slip-and-fall negligence,” says James Fusco, product manager for GARDCO.
