SLIP RISK - OVERVIEW
Slip incidents pose a significant and often underestimated risk to organisations across all sectors. Despite being frequently overlooked, these events constitute the leading cause of accidents, injuries, and insurance claims in the UK. At Slip Safety Services, we specialise in addressing this pervasive issue through our innovative Slipology methodology.
Our comprehensive approach goes beyond traditional safety measures, focusing on the scientific principles that underpin slip prevention. We understand that effective slip risk management requires a multifaceted strategy, which is why we’ve developed our proprietary CHIMES framework: Contamination, Heel, Individual, Maintenance, Environment, and Surface.
By leveraging cutting-edge technology and data-driven insights, we help organisations quantify and mitigate their slip risks. Our methods not only reduce the frequency and severity of slip incidents but also provide measurable improvements in safety metrics. This scientific approach to slip risk management enhances overall safety culture, improves operational efficiency, and protects your organisation’s bottom line.
With Slip Safety Services, you gain a partner dedicated to transforming slip risk from a persistent threat into a manageable and minimised aspect of your operations.

Successes
“I’d have no hesitation recommending Slip Safety Services to any corporate seeking to understand the detail of why slips occur, to drive a reduction in accidents, and to put themselves in a better position to have fewer successful claims against them.”
John McKie, Keoghs
Euston train station sought to reduce its passenger slip accidents. By applying the principles of Slipology, in particular implementing a best-practice cleaning regime, a significant year-on-year reduction in accidents was recorded.
This case study was published in Right Track Magazine.
The team that came to site were professional, efficient and achieved the right result in the time they said they would. As of this writing, nearly 5 months after the work, we have not had a single slip incident. A real result for eliminating potential accidents and insurance claims.“
Sue Anderson Brown, CBRE
