Slip Testing & Certification | Before & After DCOF Reports
Professional slip testing with certified before-and-after DCOF reports combined with high-performance anti-slip coating installation. Dandy Co. Floor Sealing delivers clear, documented proof that strengthens your position with insurance carriers and helps reduce slip and fall liability on commercial floors.
What Is Professional Slip Testing?
Professional slip testing measures the actual slip resistance of a floor using calibrated equipment that calculates the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF). Unlike general claims that a floor “feels non-slip,” this process delivers objective, numerical results that can be compared against recognized industry standards.
Dandy Co. Floor Sealing uses advanced tribometers to test floors in real-world conditions, both wet and dry. The testing produces certified reports that document exact measurements before and after treatment. This gives property owners and their insurance partners clear, defensible data instead of subjective opinions.
Why Property Owners, Insurers & Attorneys Need Certified DCOF Reports
Certified before-and-after reports provide documented evidence that a floor meets or exceeds accepted safety thresholds. This documentation is valuable for risk management programs, insurance renewals, and defending against slip and fall claims.
Insurance companies and attorneys increasingly look for quantifiable data when evaluating liability. A professional report showing measured improvement after anti-slip treatment can support stronger positions in claims handling and litigation. Property owners who maintain these records demonstrate proactive risk management.
Our Before & After Slip Testing Process
Dandy Co. Floor Sealing follows a clear, repeatable process designed to deliver reliable documentation:
-Initial assessment of the floor condition and environment-
-Professional slip testing using calibrated equipment to measure current DCOF values-
-Detailed analysis and recommendations for improvement-
-Application of appropriate anti-slip coatings or treatments-
-Post-treatment testing to measure and document the improvement-
-Delivery of certified before-and-after reports with clear data and photos-
Each report includes methodology, test conditions, weather conditions during testing, final results, and comparison to relevant industry standards.
Anti-Slip Coating Installation with Measurable Results
We combine professional slip testing with high-performance anti-slip coatings designed for commercial environments. These systems are formulated to increase traction while maintaining durability and ease of maintenance.
Because we test before and after installation, you receive measurable proof of improvement. Clients often see significant increases in DCOF values, turning previously marginal floors into surfaces that meet or exceed recommended safety levels. The reports clearly show the difference your investment delivered.
How Certified Slip Testing Protects Against Slip and Fall Claims
Certified reports give you documented evidence of your floor’s condition at specific points in time. This can be used to demonstrate reasonable care and maintenance practices.
For restaurants, hotels, and other commercial properties, having before-and-after DCOF reports on file can support more favorable outcomes with insurance carriers. Attorneys on both sides of slip and fall matters often rely on this type of objective data when evaluating cases. Regular testing and documentation help reduce overall liability exposure.
Industry Standards We Follow (ANSI A326.3 & DCOF Guidelines)
We test and report according to recognized standards, including ANSI A326.3 for measuring dynamic coefficient of friction on hard surface flooring. This standard is widely referenced for commercial and institutional floors.
Dandy Co. Floor Sealing also considers guidance from OSHA and other industry sources regarding slip resistance on walking surfaces. Our reports clearly state the standards applied and how results compare to recommended thresholds, giving you clear context for decision-making.
Our professionally certified floor safety specialists test according to the American National Standard (ANSI) A326.3, “Test Method for Measuring Dynamic Coefficient of Friction of Hard Surface Flooring Materials.”
Dandy Co. uses the BOT-3000E tribometer, the only device approved for use with ANSI A326.3
