Slip, Trip, & Fall Services

Slips, trips, and falls are a leading cause of pedestrian injuries. Our Slip, Trip, and Fall Services provide comprehensive investigations into the root causes of these incidents. We help clients understand the multiple factors contributing to these events, whether they be environmental hazards, human factors, or a combination of both.

Our multidisciplinary team employs a scientific approach to analyze the incident, gathering evidence and data to reconstruct the event. Our expertise lies in understanding biomechanics, friction, slip resistance, and the built environment.  We are certified to use state-of-the-art methodology and slipmeters to assess the safety of walking surfaces.

ESi’s experts also regularly conduct proactive floor safety audits, performing coefficient of friction testing before a fall occurs. This work includes marine applications such as walking surfaces on cruise ships and pool decks, as well as restaurants, parking lots, and staircases.

Our experienced professionals are actively involved in the development of floor safety and test method consensus standards including NFSI and ASTM.  We are well-versed in other relevant codes and standards, such as ADA regulations. By understanding the contributing factors to slip, trip, and fall incidents, we can tell the full story of a fall incident beyond just the floor characteristics. Our multidisciplinary approach and commitment to client satisfaction ensure that we deliver comprehensive and actionable insights.
