For 30 years, Safety Direct America has been making America safer one floor at a time. We provide floor slip resistance testing (DCOF rating) services as well as anti-slip and non-skid slippery floor solutions for all types of flooring, especially accident-prone areas like bathtubs, showers, kitchens, and boats.
Slip resistance testing to determine coefficient of friction, suitability of use, and provide evidence of due diligence. Anti-slip options-such as adhesive grip tapes, clear abrasive anti-slip coatings, and anti-skid floor paints-DIY or professionally installed.
We supply anti-slip floor and non-skid bath treatment services, adhesive anti-slip/anti-skid floor grip tapes, do-it-yourself and professionally-applied clear abrasive anti-slip floor and bath coatings, colored anti-skid floor paint, non-slip floor treatments, and slip resistance (coefficient of friction) testing services (both in the lab and in the field) that help prevent slips and falls.

Services
Safety Direct America is a subsidiary of Sotter Engineering Corporation, which was founded by Dr. George Sotter in 1987 and incorporated in 1991. Our mission is to use science and technology to make life better for people. We supply anti-slip/non-skid floor-care products and applications; instruments; and consulting and expert witness services that use technology to improve safety, health and the environment.
At Safety Direct America, we are discount sellers of slip-resistance and coefficient of friction measuring devices for floors. If you have any questions about floor testing instruments or would like to place an order, please contact us online or call us directly at 1-800-988-6721. The pendulum is presently used for measuring pedestrian slip resistance in at least 49 nations on five continents.
The BOT-3000E (Binary Output Tribometer) can measure both static and dynamic coefficient of friction with a variety of test sliders in both wet and dry conditions. It also provides a printed record of test parameters and results which can strengthen courtroom credibility. Available with sliders of SBR, Four S, TRL, and leather.
Contact us at 949-582-0889 for field or laboratory British pendulum (or ASTM E 303) DCOF floor slip resistance tests. Turnaround time for lab tests is normally two-three working days, and the charge for most samples is $230.00 per sample (a sample is one to three representative pieces of the same material).
Approximate price, USD: Low cost but not recommended for pedestrian safety testing. Device not offered by SDA, although we do perform tests if requested. Validation for pedestrian traction: None. Can give highly deceptive results if applied to slip potential of pedestrian; J. Forensic Sci. Advantage: Good workout: uses 50-pound weight lifted 112 times per test.

After one of my parent's fell in the bathroom, I have been scouring the internet for something to protect them. We didn't have an ability to change the flooring, so we needed a coating which would keep them safe and not ruin the floor's appearance. (That was very important to them!) A friend recommended Safety Direct America and their products. I ordered the Sparkle Tuff and was able to apply it myself. It's been two years now, and even when the water has leaked from the shower and the floor is wet, my parents are safe because of this coating. I could not recommend it more. It is easy to apply

Hi John,
I installed the "SPARKLE TOUGH" two days ago, and used the shower for the first time an hour ago, (hope that wasn't too much information for you). What a fantastic product, I really tried to soap up the floor, and have a failure, but it works just great, even better than great....!!!
Thanks for your help in the previous emails, they were very helpful, and I'm very pleased.
Thanks again and have a great year.

We purchased and applied SparkleTuff Anti-Slip Floor Coating to our shower floor last June. It is truly an AMAZING product! It has totally change the our sense of security when showering. The floor is no longer slippery yet it is very comfortable at the same time. t was easy to apply - just follow the directions. It does not change the look of the floor (no yellowing).
So, it's been over 6 months and it is holding up beautifully. Buying this product has saved us so much money (we looked into having the floor tile replaced -super expensive and no guarantee). I'm a physical therapist and have seen

I'm Very Disappointed in the Coarse Non-Abrasive Anti-Slip stick-on 6" x 24" rectangles purchased for my bathtub. I waited 24 hours after applying them but as soon as water hit, they raised up in the center & could not be stuck back down again.
I was told i needed to return them within 7 days??? This company sucks. I blew $36 & now have a tripping hazard in my tub.
Their website is also terrible: very hard to find what you are looking for. I tried to do a good thing & support a small company, but I'll shop elsewhere from now on.
