Why St Clears businesses test their floors.
Every commercial premises in Wales — whether a corner shop in St Clears or a multi-site retailer operating across Cymru — carries a statutory duty under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 to assess and manage slip risk. Insurance providers increasingly require documented PTV evidence at renewal, particularly where a previous claim has been filed or defended.
The pendulum test is the method HSE explicitly references for assessing slip resistance under wet conditions — the conditions in which the overwhelming majority of slip incidents actually occur. A dry-only reading tells you very little about how a floor performs when spillage, rain drag-in, cleaning water or other contaminants are present.
