Work Boot Safety & Testing

How SRA Slip Testing Helps Keep You Safe on the Job

When you are working on slippery or wet surfaces, having reliable traction beneath your feet is critical to staying safe on site.

At ErgonX, our work boots undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet Australian safety standards and provide dependable grip where you need it most.

What Does SRA Slip Testing Mean?

SRA testing evaluates how slip-resistant an outsole is when tested on ceramic tiles coated with a diluted soap solution. This simulates some of the slickest conditions you might encounter on a worksite. Passing SRA compliance ensures the tread pattern and rubber compound offer sufficient friction to maintain stability, even on smooth, soapy, or wet surfaces.

Reducing Slips and Falls in the Workplace

Slips, trips, and falls remain some of the most common workplace injuries across construction, trades, and industrial environments. Wearing work boots with an SRA-rated slip-resistant outsole can help reduce the risk of workplace slips and falls by up to 54 percent. Combined with supportive arch structure and durable materials, proper slip resistance keeps you confident and stable throughout your shift.
