Certified Floor Safety & Compliance Testing
Regular slip compliance testing is a vital part of workplace safety and risk management. Our certified testing gives you peace of mind that your floors meet and maintain New Zealand’s slip resistance standards—helping to prevent costly accidents and ensure compliance.
Reliable Testing for Peace of Mind
In commercial environments, flooring naturally wears over time. Everyday foot traffic, cleaning chemicals, and maintenance practices can all affect the surface’s slip resistance. If your floors fall below New Zealand’s required standards, we can help you assess, restore, and maintain compliance with a clear action plan.
Keep High-Traffic Spaces Safe
We recommend including slip testing as a part of your Health and annual Safety Plan review, for all high-use areas including:
- Entrances, foyers, and lobbies
- Internal and external walkways
Steps, ramps, and accessways - Kitchens, restrooms, and changing areas
- Commercial and industrial floors subject to moisture or cleaning chemicals

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — SLIP RESISTANCE TESTING
1. What is slip resistance testing and why is it important?
Slip resistance testing measures the friction level of your floor surface using a Wet pendulum test. It helps ensure your flooring meets NZ Standards for safety and compliance, reducing the risk of slips and falls in workplaces or public environments.
2. How often should slip testing be carried out?
We recommend testing every 12 months for most commercial and industrial spaces, or more frequently in high-traffic areas exposed to moisture, cleaning agents, or heavy wear.
3. What happens if my floor fails the slip resistance test?
If your results fall below required standards, Alps Contractors will provide a detailed report outlining your current rating and practical recommendations to restore compliance—such as surface cleaning, re-coating, or non-slip treatments.
4. What types of floors can you test?
We test all interior and exterior hard surfaces including epoxy resin floors, concrete, tiles, vinyl, terrazzo, and sealed coatings. Our equipment and methods are fully compliant with AS/NZS standards.
5. How long does the testing process take?
Most on-site slip resistance tests take under one hour per area, with digital reporting typically delivered within 24–48 hours. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your business.
6. Do you provide certification or reports for compliance purposes?
Yes — you’ll receive a comprehensive digital report detailing your test results, classification rating, and compliance status. This can be used for health and safety audits, insurance, or council documentation. We also can issue a NATA slip resistance certificate which is the most important accreditation company in Aus, and issues certificates according NZ standards.
