Risk Assessment 101

Slip Risk Changes

ass_edited.png

Wear, contamination and the effects of cleaning and maintenance can significantly alter the slip resistance of your floors. Even good quality anti-slip floors can change over time. Don’t wait till someone falls to test your floors.

Got a slippery floor?

If you are worried about slippery floors, slipping accidents, or slip claims then you need SlipAlert. Contact Jenny for information.

Safer floors

A step-change in floor safety. SlipAlert is faster, easier, and more versatile than traditional slip testing. SlipAlert measures slip risk, results correlate with Pendulum Test Values (PTV) and Coefficient of Friction (CoF). SlipAlert is guaranteed to accurately assess slip risks. You can reduce slipping accidents, slip injuries and slip claims. Buy SlipAlert!

Slip Risk Changes

Wear, contamination and the effects of cleaning and maintenance can significantly alter the slip resistance of your floors. Even good quality anti-slip floors can change over time. Don’t wait till someone falls to test your floors.

Be Proactive

The only way to be proactive is to monitor slip risk regularly. Regular testing with SlipAlert can be done by anyone on any floor. Proactive testing will tell you about the performance of your floor and about the effectiveness of cleaning and maintenance. Don’t just buy safety flooring, buy safe floors by testing the slip risk before you buy. Maintain safer floors by monitoring cleaning and maintenance. Be proactive.

SlipAlert & Safer Floors

SlipAlert is one of only two British Standard floor slip test machines and the only one designed for quick and easy monitoring. Stopping slips made easy.

Designed to be easy and accurate

We design, manufacture, and sell the world’s most user-friendly slip test machine. It is designed for ease of use so that anyone can conduct your slip testing. SlipAlert delivers management information about your floors, cleaning maintenance, and changes to slip risk. We make it easy for you to manage slip risk in your business.

Hygiena - ATP Testing Solution Malta

The Scientific way to prove cleanliness!

The EnSure™ cleaning verification solution consists of a luminometer, ATP test devices and the SureTrend™ dashboard. These three parts work together to help you track and measure your cleaning program across multiple locations. Learn more about each test below.

Disinfection

The ATP test is a process of rapidly measuring actively growing microorganisms through detection of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.

​Using UltraSnap™ surface ATP tests couldn’t be easier.

The three-step process for collecting a sample, activating the device, and mixing the sample is so easy, anyone can do it.

How does ATP testing work?


Hygiena™ ATP testing devices contain a natural enzyme found in fireflies. This enzyme produces a simple bioluminescent (light-producing) reaction when it comes into contact with ATP (Adenosine triphosphate, the energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things). Using bioluminescence technology, the SystemSURE™ Plus luminometer can measure extremely low levels of ATP collected with testing devices.

Measuring the amount of bioluminescence from an ATP reaction provides an excellent indication of surface cleanliness because the quantity of light generated by the reaction is directly proportional to the amount of ATP present in the sample. The bioluminescence reaction is immediate so results can be processed at the testing site in seconds. Results are expressed numerically on the luminometer screen in Relative Light Units (RLU).

Bioluminescence is the result of a biochemical reaction and is the science behind Hygiena™ ATP detection tests. The reaction includes the following elements:

  • Luciferin /Luciferase -naturally occurring in fireflies

  • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the energy molecule of all living organisms

  • Oxygen- a catalyst

Luciferin /Luciferase + ATP + O2 → Light output

 

The reaction occurs in two steps:

  1.  The substrate combines with ATP and oxygen, which is controlled by the enzyme.

  2. The chemical energy in step 1 excites a specific molecule (the combination of Luciferin and Luciferase). The result is decay which is manifested as photon emission, or light production. The light is simply a byproduct of the chemical reaction and does not depend on light.
