Slip Resistance Testing Results – Santiago’s Restaurant Floor in Colorado
At Non-Slip Solutions LLC, we’re in the business of making floors safer—before someone gets hurt. And one recent job at a local Santiago’s Mexican Restaurant is a perfect example of just how fast and effective the right solution can be.
⚠️ A Floor That Was Failing the Safety Test
Management at this Santiago’s location had noticed that their tile floors, especially in areas like the soda station and kitchen line, were becoming dangerously slick—despite regular cleaning. They were concerned about staff safety, potential liability, and the rising risk of a serious slip-and-fall.
We started with a certified slip-resistance test using the BOT 3000E Tribometer, an ANSI-compliant device that measures exactly how slippery a floor is when wet.
The result?
🔴 Pre-treatment DCOF: 0.29
That’s far below the minimum ANSI standard of 0.42—meaning the floor was officially unsafe for wet conditions.
Pre-Sure Step treatment floor measured 0.29 using the BOT 3000E Tribometer
💡 One Invisible Treatment, One Major Result
We applied our Sure Step non-slip treatment, which doesn’t involve messy coatings or surface damage. It’s a fast, invisible fix designed to increase the coefficient of friction and stop hydroplaning in its tracks.
After just one treatment, we re-tested.
✅ Post-treatment DCOF: 0.67
That’s over a 130% increase in traction, far surpassing the safety minimum—and all without disrupting daily operations.
🍽️ Why This Matters for Restaurants
Slip-and-fall injuries are one of the leading causes of workplace claims in the restaurant industry. Wet floors from mopping, grease, or spills create constant hazards—especially during peak hours.
With this one proactive step, Santiago’s:
Improved safety for their staff and guests
Reduced exposure to injury-related liability
Made their floors compliant—without interrupting service
