Facility Owners

With the high cost of new construction and remodeling be sure you get what you pay for.

Before starting a project, have the architect specify that all hard surface flooring systems comply with NFSI B101 standards and be independently tested by TractionAµditing, LLC before and after installation. Having objective data that your floors meet the current SCOF requirements of the NFSI B101 testing standards before employees or customers use them, makes you proactive in providing a safe working environment. This documentation can be used in your defense against slip and fall liability and litigation.
