SAfety flooring installation birmingham
APA Contract Flooring supplies and installs safety flooring across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
Slips and trips account for over a third of workplace injuries in the UK. In wet environments, proper safety flooring isn’t optional – it’s a legal requirement.
What is Safety Flooring?
Safety flooring is vinyl flooring designed to provide enhanced slip resistance. The surface incorporates particles that create texture and grip, even when wet.
Essential in commercial kitchens, bathrooms, changing rooms, swimming pools, food preparation areas, healthcare facilities, and entrance areas.
Meeting Legal Requirements
The Health and Safety at Work Act requires employers to ensure floor safety. The HSE provides guidance on acceptable slip resistance levels.
Safety flooring is tested using the pendulum test. For most commercial applications, flooring should achieve a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 36 or above.
We only supply and install safety flooring that meets appropriate standards.
