Building users expect buildings to be safe, and the Building Code therefore includes a requirement for walking surfaces on building access routes to be slip-resistant.

Scope

This guide includes the following chapters:

  • Slip hazards
  • Building Code Clause D1 Access Routes
  • Acceptable Solution D1/AS1, section 2.1 Slip resistance
