COURSE OUTLINE:

Flooring materials provide a foundation for the spaces you design. Design intentions and aesthetics influence the flooring materials used. Key design considerations in the selection process directly affect health, safety, and welfare issues. Material selection affects the risk and costs of slips and falls as well as the facility maintenance time and effort required.

In Part 1 of this three part course you will learn about the annual $50+ billion slip, trip, and fall problem in residential and commercial facilities, the causes of pedestrian problems, key definitions, and factors affecting pedestrian safety related to material selection.

Learn about pedestrian slip resistance and the concept of coefficient of friction.

See video of how force plates are used in the laboratory to measure the actual values of cofficient of friction of a person walking as well as the science of the human gait.

Understand five key factors affecting pedestrian safety.

In Part 2 of this three part course you’ll learn about the 18 most common flooring materials used including resilient, non-resilient, and specialty. Materials must complement the use of the facility, the cleaning processes, and expected level of contaminants on the flooring (walkways). Each material is evaluated on physical characteristics, cleanability and slip resistance.

Learn a framework for creating facility zones that defines walkway and facility characteristics, identifies sources of contaminates (e.g. water, oil, food), defines a zone cleaning and maintenance process, identifies areas of risk for slip, trip, fall, and creates a monitoring and audit plan. Understand transitions and pedestrian flow.

Be introduced to best practice processes that you can share with clients for wet and dry mopping and using autoscrubbers to clean. See how mats, slip tapes, and traction coats can be used to reduce risk.

In Part 3 of this three part course you’ll learn about four key factors affecting slip resistance. The course carefully explains the physics of coefficient of friction (COF), static coefficient of friction (SCOF), and dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF).

You will know the current published standards available to test SCOF and DCOF both in the laboratory and on a walkway. The course reviews each standard for scope, information provided, and what material can be tested.

Learn about approved tribometers (slip meters) that use the published standards to measure COF. Know two standards that provide information on providing safer flooring (walkways). Know the current U.S. OSHA and ADA compliance requirements related to COF and walkway safety.
