This Part gives guidance on the selection, installation, care and maintenance of flooring and other surfaces in domestic, public and commercial areas for the purpose of reducing the slip hazard to pedestrians, including people with disabilities.NOTE: It is impossible to completely remove the risks of persons slipping on pedestrian surfaces. There is a wide range of flooring surfaces available for use in buildings (both in interior and exterior areas) and the slip-resistance characteristics of these surfaces will vary enormously depending on factors such as weather conditions, activities carried out in the building (e.g. there is a high risk of slipping in kitchens and bathrooms where water and other liquids may be spilled and also in hospitals and other health care facilities such as veterinary surgeries), cleaning methods used on the surface, and the type of footwear that the person is wearing.
