Consult experts (NFCA members) and choose carefully when considering safety flooring. The slip resistance or coefficient of friction (COF) of flooring is dependent not only on the design of the flooring (surface texture / pattern, density of embedded rough particles, etc.) but may also vary considerably due to the presence of contaminants, water, floor finishes, and other factors not under the control of the designer, flooring contractor or builder, including improper cleaning and maintenance and even inappropriate foot wear. 'Slip-proof' and 'non-slip flooring' are terms that must not be used, as no flooring is entirely slip resistant. Source: NFCA Floor Covering Reference Manual.
