Employers at the forefront

Employers are without doubt aware of their responsibility to provide safe working environments for their employees and visitors to their premises. As part of their responsibility, carrying out risk assessments in the workplace is mandatory.

Floor surfaces can present a particular risk and employers have a duty of care as laid down in EU guidelines:

“Employers have responsibilities for the health and safety of their employees. They are also responsible for any visitors to their premises such as customers, suppliers and the general public.” There is a duty to “make floors, walkways, stairs, roadways etc safe to use”.

“The floors of workplaces must have no dangerous bumps, holes or slopes and must be fixed, stable and not slippery.”

EU Directive 89/391/EEC on Health and Safety at Work and Council Directive 89/654/EEC 1989 concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for the workplace.

Slips and Trips – the growing awareness

Slips and trips cost

Slips and trips are a major cause of injury and absence from work. A slip and trip accident is recorded every 3 minutes. Slip and trip accidents are the most common cause of injury in the workplace across Europe and account for:

• morethan£512,000,000incostsperannumtoUK employers, according to the Health and Safety Executive

• 25%ofallaccidentsandmorethan50%ofallserious injuries in the German workplace

Slips and trips - vulnerable groups

Slips and trips are the leading source of injury, disability, lifelong impairment and death for the elderly, infirm and young. The EU Campaign for a Safer Europe states that most injuries are preventable and aims to reduce accidents among vulnerablegroupsby25%by2012.

Whose responsibility is it?

For the reasons outlined above, floors must not be slippery, putting people’s safety at risk. Clients, specifiers and suppliers all have their role to play in making safety a priority. When it comes to the design of a building, at Altro we have thrown all our resources into offering designers a full range of safety flooring that enables those responsible to comply with Health and Safety requirements.

Making the floor a priority – the danger area for slips

The floor surface in any environment is vital to the successful reduction of slip incidents. If you can minimise risk in this area you are well on your way to creating an accident-free zone.

Flooring – Risk factors associated with slipperiness

Even a floor with little grip may pose no threat in perfect environmental conditions. However, conditions change and this can have a marked effect on the slipperiness of a floor.

Things to be aware of when assessing the potential slipperiness of floors:

• unsuitablefloors(e.g.glossyorpolishedsurfaces)

• leaks,spillsandsplashes

• wetprocesses

• wetfloorsfollowingcleaning

• rain,mud

• slopingsurfaces

• fatparticlesintheairwherefoodisprepared

• unsuitableentrancematting

Safety flooring - how does it work?

6 Essential Safety Flooring Collection

Altro’s unique, patented construction of flexible, high-grade vinyl with slip-resistant grains throughout the wear layer of the safety flooring, ensures a durable surface that is slip-resistant for the life of the flooring.

How vinyl safety flooring works

Altro safety flooring appears smooth on the surface but provides a high level of slip resistance when walked on. The pressure created by walking over safety flooring causes the aggregates in the flooring to stand proud and rub against the shoe, creating friction. Because of this, Altro safety flooring remains slip-resistant, even with spillages upon it.

Why safety flooring

•Smoothflooringcanbeeasytocleanbutnotslip-resistant when wet

•Ceramicsafetyflooringcanbeslip-resistantbuttherelief and grout can make it difficult to clean

•Altrosafetyflooringprovidesexcellentslipresistance;the smooth surface makes it easier to clean, while the integral roughness of the aggregates provides slip-resistance, even with spillages

Why Altro safety flooring

Altro slip-resistant safety flooring is a modern solution, meeting the highest standards of safety and hygiene.

the ramp test

The ramp test (DIN 51130) is widely used and its ‘R’ values are quoted by most flooring companies. R9-R12 ratings are based on angle measurements, where an operator stands on a ramp, which is covered in oil. While the ramp test is a useful measure, it cannot be replicated on site.

ramp test - Slip angle

R9 is the lowest rating on the R scale, with a slip angle of only 6, a rating found even in smooth vinyl flooring. All Altro safety flooring is rated R10 or above, with one achieving a rating of R12, making it suitable for greasy environments including professional kitchens.

A barefoot version of the test (DIN 51097) also exists, where the ramp is covered with water.

Altro MarineTM 20 / T20 barefoot flooring is rated C on DIN 51097, the highest slip resistance rating on the scale.

Potential for slip classification based on pendulum test values:

All Altro safety flooring for shod areas exceeds the 36+ rating, indicating the lowest potential for slip.

Surface microroughness meter

An indication of slipperiness may be obtained by measuring the surface roughness of flooring materials. This test uses a microroughness meter which measuresinRzmicroroughnessvalues (microns). This test is used to examine on-going slip resistance on site, in conjunction with the pendulum test when required. Results should be interpreted using the information in the table below.

PotentialforslipclassificationbasedonRzmicroroughnessvalues (application for water-wet low activity pedestrian areas).

A surface roughness of 20 microns or above implies low slip risk.

In most circumstances, both pendulum Coefficient of Friction (CoF) and surface microroughness readings are required to give an accurate indicator of floor surface slipperiness.

Precision assessment of slipperiness

As a result of Altro’s research and experience in the market, we consider that the following represent an overview of the most common and reliable methods of testing slip resistance internationally. These tests give consistent results and are portable, so they can measure slip potential on site at any time during the life of the flooring.

Slip resistance tests

tests in europe

There are two European standards (ENs) that have been developed by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), that have to be satisfied and are part of EN 14041, which is the CE label standard for resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings.

These two tests are:

· EN 13893 – a pull sled test where the requirements are a coefficient of friction of ≥0.30

· EN 13845 Annex C – a ramp test similar to DIN 51130 and DIN 51097 using water and soap as the contaminant.

For barefoot areas the requirement is ≥15° and for shod* areas ≥20°

It is compulsory for manufacturers like Altro to test to and pass these standards, if they are going to claim that flooring is slip-resistant and can be sold in European countries.

*shod areas are areas where people normally wear shoes.

pendulum trrL bS7976

The ‘pendulum’ coefficient of friction test is based on a swinging, dummy heel (using a standardised rubber soling sample) which sweeps over a set area of flooring in a controlled manner. The slipperiness of the flooring has a direct and measurable effect on the pendulum value. Results should be interpreted using the information in the table.

Slips and trips

‘As New’ floor measurements can become obsolete in weeks. Many supposed slip-resistant floors have a factory-finished coating which may wear off to leave a less slip-resistant surface. Altro's safety flooring technology is designed to maintain its slip-resistance throughout the life of the product. If you require further information, please contact your Altro Representative.

Preparation of sub-floors

Sub-floors must be dry, sound and free from dust and grease. The floor must be smooth. The requirements of BS 8203:2001 + A1:2009 and international equivalents apply where relevant.

Direct-to-earth sub-floors must incorporate an efficient damp-proof membrane. If not, a surface damp-proof membrane must be applied.

Underlay

Where additional sound absorption is required, an acoustic underlay may be required. Please consult your local Altro representative about Altro Acoustic Underlay 1101.

Altro EverlayTM A and B are designed to overcome the problems sometimes encountered in laying sheet floorings over new or old sub-floors.

Altro Everlay can be laid over a variety of surfaces, such as old vinyl tiles, sheet metal, access floors, damp sub-floors or those contaminated with oil or paint. They provide a continuous base over tiles, which is stabilised and resistant to damp. Please consult your local Altro representative about Altro Everlay.

6 Steps to sustainability

as a leading manufacturer and supplier of flooring and walling solutions we’ve already taken great strides towards creating a sustainable business, as part of our continuous program of not just meeting but exceeding environmental expectations. With this in mind, we’ve identified 6 key steps that will improve our social, economic and environmental performance.

Step 1: Product Development

Altro safety flooring conforms to a number of international emission standards including the AgBB in Germany. It is also FloorScore certified, (low VOCs) in accordance with CHPS Section California 01350 Specification for high performance schools, and contributes to the LEED environmental certification scheme.

Most Altro products are made from PVC and although PVC is not always viewed in a positive light, when considered over its entire life cycle, PVC-based floor coverings perform favourably against competing materials.

Altro safety flooring products achieve the highest possible BRE Global environmental ratings of A+/A in the major building applications of Health, Education, Retail and Commercial. All Altro sites are certified to ISO 14001:2004, the environmental management standard. All Altro products meet the European REACh requirements.

Step 3: Carbon Footprint

We’ve looked closely at our manufacturing processes, our buildings and our travel policies. This has already resulted in substantial carbon savings. We’re also making sure that, where possible, new sites are built to environmentally sound standards.

Step 2: Recycling

Altro are the first manufacturer to recycle safety flooring in the EU.AllAltrosafetyflooringis100%recyclableandcontainspost-consumer waste as an integral raw material. Some Altro safetyflooringproductshaveupto20%recycledcontent.Altroparticipate in the Golv Återvinning flooring recycling scheme in Sweden, is a member of EPFLOOR and is a founder member of Recofloor in the UK, the industry’s vinyl take-back scheme for post-installation vinyl flooring.

Step 4: Energy Saving

Like any growing business our energy consumption increases with product output and so we are constantly looking for ways of becoming more energy efficient. We worked with the Carbon Trust in 2007 to save over 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide and between 2007 and 2009 reduced our total energy consumption byover7%.

Step 5: Waste Reduction

The installation of the first in-house safety flooring recycling system means that we have not sent any waste PVC to landfill since 2007. The identification of further recycling opportunities and elimination of waste at source of the remaining waste streams have resulted in a total reduction in wastetolandfillof70%between2007and2010.

Step 6: Social Responsibility

Altro operate with integrity and honesty. It is our fundamental belief that a sustainable and responsible business will ultimately become a more successful one.

From an environmental point of view, we always aim to successfully balance the practical needs of our customers with our responsibility to the environment. As our business grows, these concerns will remain high on our agenda.

Independent analysis

Specifiers need to know how much flooring and walling products will cost over their expected lifespan. This is why Altro have commissioned an independent life cycle cost analysis, conducted by BWA Facilities Consultancy. When reviewing these costs you will need to take into account any special circumstances affecting:

•thesub-floororsub-wall

•theoriginalflooringorwallingmaterialitself

•installation

•cleaningandmaintenance

•disposal

•replacement

•levelofuse

For further information on how these costs were reached, contact your local Altro representative.

Cost analysis result:

• allofAltro’sinteriorsurfacesdeliverimpressivevalueover their lifetime

The life expectancy of Altro safety flooring takes into account that it:

• iscomposedofhighqualityPVC

• hasaggregateallthewaythroughthewearlayer

• willnotloseslipresistanceduringlifetime

• provideslong-lastingperformance

Altro were the first manufacturer to incorporate an easyclean technology into our safety flooring for enhanced cleanability and appearance retention of safety flooring.

Those ranges which incorporate Altro Maxis Easyclean Technology (indicated on each product page) are even easier to clean and require less water and detergent.

Cleaning

As in any area where hygiene and safety are important, regular maintenance should be carried out.

There are three simple stages:

1. apply hot water and chemical cleaner, agitate on the floor surface to loosen dirt and suspend it in the water and chemical solution.

2. remove the dirty water.

3. rinse the surface thoroughly.

Recommended cleaning methods, frequency and intensity of cleaning depend on individual applications. Please consult Altro’s Guide to Cleaning.

Altro safety flooring is not recommended for areas where lit cigarette ends are likely to be dropped or trodden into the floor, where solvents (such as ketones and aromatic solvents) are in regular use or where organic dyes or floor cleaners containing pine oil are used. Some materials are known to cause staining, typical examples of these are rubber tyres, rubber mats, asphalt and bitumen materials etc.
