Independent Slip Testing Services is an Australian company that helps determine suitability of products like tiles and stone pavers that are commonly used in internal and external walkways, steps and ramps, common loading bays, pedestrian crossings and other painted car park indicators, food preparation and wet waste handling areas, toilets and many other locations.

For property managers and owners, the level of slip resistance of a property's pedestrian surfaces can be measured and the correct product chosen to reduce the risk of slips and falls.
