Passenger Safety: The Non-Negotiable Floor Requirement

Slip and trip incidents in airports and transport hubs represent the single largest category of public liability claims in the built environment. Wet entrances, spilled beverages, and high footfall create constant slip risk — and the consequences of inadequate flooring extend far beyond financial liability.

Prime Industrial installs DDA-compliant, slip-resistant resin flooring systems for airports, transport interchanges, and public buildings. Our systems are independently tested to HSE pendulum test requirements and provide documented slip resistance data for public liability management.

Key Benefits for Passenger Safety

Certified Slip Resistance

Systems independently tested to HSE pendulum test method, achieving PTV ≥36 (low slip risk) in both dry and wet conditions — documented for public liability management.

DDA Compliance

Surfaces specified to meet Equality Act 2010 and DDA requirements for accessible public buildings, including tactile guidance and visual contrast.

Wet Weather Performance

Slip resistance maintained in wet conditions from rain, tracked-in water, and spills — the primary slip risk in airport entrances and concourses.

Tactile Guidance Integration

Tactile warning and guidance surfaces integrated into the resin system for visually impaired passengers, meeting BS 8300 requirements.

Visual Contrast Zoning

Colour contrast between floor zones, hazard areas, and circulation routes, meeting DDA visual contrast requirements for partially sighted passengers.

Durability Under Footfall

Systems rated for millions of footfalls annually without loss of slip resistance — no periodic re-treatment required to maintain safety performance.

Passenger Safety Standards

Our passenger safety flooring systems are specified to meet public building and accessibility requirements:

HSE Slip resistance: PTV ≥36 (low slip risk) in wet conditions
Equality Act 2010 / DDA: Accessible floor surfaces in public buildings
BS 8300: Design of an accessible and inclusive built environment
CAA CAP 168: Passenger area surface requirements
BS EN 13845: Slip-resistant floor coverings — classification
Building Regulations Part M: Access to and use of buildings

Case Study

International Airport Entrance & Concourse, London

📍 London, UK📐 5,600 m²🔧 R11 Slip-Resistant Resin + Tactile Guidance + Visual Contrast

Challenge: Major London airport required entrance and concourse floor replacement following a series of slip incidents, with DDA compliance, tactile guidance integration, and documented slip resistance data for public liability insurers.

Solution: Installed R11 slip-resistant resin with integrated tactile guidance strips and colour contrast zoning. Independent pendulum test achieved PTV 42 in wet conditions. Full DDA compliance documentation and slip resistance certificates provided.

Result: Slip incidents reduced by 89% in 12-month post-installation period. Public liability insurer accepted slip resistance documentation. DDA compliance audit passed without recommendations.
