Severn Science introduces the Tortus 3 floor friction tester, featuring many new benefits to the end user with no significant cost increase
Slips, trips and falls account for over half of all reported injuries, costing employers and organizations millions of pounds every year.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 emphasises that all employers must take steps to control slip and trip risks in the workplace.
Research has shown that the most dangerous type of slip occurs when the heel slides forward on making contact with the ground.
The Tortus 3 simulates this condition, by reproducing the conditions under the heel during straight walking.
The Tortus instrument has been manufactured by Severn Science for over 20 years, and was originally featured on TV in 'Tomorrows' World' in the UK, and on similar programmes in Australia and New Zealand.
It is used and established globally as a recognised and respected specialist instrument.
The new Tortus 3 features many new enhancements, with no significant cost increase.
