Leisure Attractions & Entertainment — Slip Testing in Birmingham

Pendulum slip testing for leisure attractions in Birmingham

Birmingham Slip Testing — operated by Surface Performance Ltd under UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, Lab Schedule No. 7933 — provides BS 7976-2 pendulum slip resistance testing to trampoline parks, soft-play centres, bowling alleys, climbing centres, escape rooms, theme parks and entertainment venues across Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, the Black Country and the wider West Midlands.

The pendulum test, carried out in accordance with BS 7976-2:2002+A1:2013, is the preferred pedestrian slip test method recommended by the Health and Safety Executive and the UK Slip Resistance Group. It is the only slip test evidence accepted by UK courts in civil slip injury claims.

High-risk zones in leisure attractions

Every leisure attraction environment has its own slip risk profile. Our typical survey scope covers main activity floors, viewing areas, café and party-room floors, toilets and changing rooms, queue zones and external entrances.

Regulatory framework

Reports are written to align with the regulatory framework that applies to leisure attractions — including the Occupiers' Liability Acts, the Workplace Regulations 1992, ASTM/BS 6399 trampoline and play-centre standards and insurance underwriting expectations.

Who we work with

Our typical client base in this sector includes venue managers, multi-site operators, franchise leads and group H&S managers. We deliver single-site testing alongside group-level programmes for multi-site operators across Birmingham and the wider region.

What's included in every survey

• BS 7976-2 pendulum slip testing in both dry and wet (contaminated) conditions, with the appropriate slider (Slider 96 shod, Slider 55 barefoot).
• Surface roughness (Rz) measurement on smooth surfaces where pendulum results alone could mislead.
• Photographic and locational evidence at every test point.
• UKAS-endorsed report within five working days.
• Independent recommendations — we don't sell flooring or anti-slip treatments.
