ASTM F2948-21

Standard Guide to Walkway Auditor Qualifications

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Characterizing the safety of a pedestrian walkway is a significant task, whether as a proactive effort or in response to an incident. In addition to experience, the qualifications for a walkway auditor should include reasonable familiarity with guiding documents, sources for research, walkway tribometry, and walkway safety. This guide outlines topics for a walkway auditor training course intended to facilitate that familiarity.  
4.2 As certain countries have codified requirements for the methods to be used in walkway auditing, it would be impractical to keep this guide current with those requirements. Though elements of practice in other countries may be similar, the focus of this guide is on the practice of walkway auditing in the United States.  
4.3 Additional information is provided in Appendix X1.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide outlines basic knowledge topics that walkway auditors should consider (where applicable) when conducting audits of pedestrian walkways.  
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview

ASTM F2948-21: Standard Guide to Walkway Auditor Qualifications provides comprehensive guidance on the essential qualifications, knowledge areas, and reference materials for individuals auditing pedestrian walkways. Developed by ASTM International, this standard is intended to support both proactive safety evaluations and investigations following walkway incidents. The guide focuses on practices in the United States, ensuring walkway auditors are adequately prepared to assess conformance with relevant safety guidelines and requirements.

Key Topics

This standard highlights the fundamental areas of expertise and information sources that are integral to effective walkway audits:

• Pedestrian Safety and Incident Investigation

  • Understanding terminology related to walkways, slip resistance, and pedestrian safety
  • Familiarity with methods of incident investigation

• Regulatory and Guiding Documents

  • Accessing and interpreting relevant standards, laws, codes, and directives from bodies such as OSHA, ADA, ICC, ANSI, and local authorities

• Walkway Design and Materials

  • Knowledge of facility and walkway design elements including means of egress, accessibility, ramps, stairs, landings, and illumination
  • Understanding the properties of various walkway materials: manufactured, fabricated-in-place, natural surfaces, coatings, carpets, rugs, and mats

• Maintenance Practices

  • Awareness of janitorial responsibilities, contaminant management, and how maintenance impacts walkway safety

• Footwear and Human Factors

  • Basic understanding of footwear structure, materials, and its impact on slip resistance
  • Insights into gait mechanics, traction demand, and fall mechanics

• Walkway Tribometry

  • Familiarity with devices and methods for measuring the slip resistance (tribometers)
  • Principles of validation, calibration, precision, and certification of walkway tribometers

• Conducting a Walkway Audit

  • Scoping audits, using standard forms, understanding limits of reporting, and auditor liability

Applications

The ASTM F2948-21 standard is widely applicable across various sectors and industries that require regular assessment of walkway safety, including:

• Facility Management: Ensuring walkways in commercial, industrial, and public spaces comply with safety and accessibility requirements.
• Risk Management and Insurance: Providing defensible evaluation methods for slip, trip, and fall risk assessments and claims investigations.
• Consulting and Expert Testimony: Supporting forensic analysis and expert opinion in legal cases involving pedestrian walkway incidents.
• Construction and Design: Aiding architects, engineers, and contractors in the specification and evaluation of safe walking surfaces.
• Healthcare and Hospitality: Evaluating walkways in hospitals, hotels, and similar environments to improve safety for high-traffic or at-risk populations.

By adhering to the recommended qualifications and knowledge areas, walkway auditors can deliver reliable, consistent assessments, ultimately helping reduce slip, trip, and fall incidents.

Related Standards

Several related standards and technical resources are referenced in ASTM F2948-21, providing a strong framework for comprehensive walkway safety audits:

• ASTM F2508: Practice for Validation, Calibration, and Certification of Walkway Tribometers Using Reference Surfaces
• ASTM F1637: Practice for Safe Walking Surfaces
• ASTM F609: Standard Test Method for Using a Horizontal Pull Slipmeter
• ASTM F2048: Practice for Reporting Slip Resistance Test Results
• ICC/ANSI A117.1: Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities
• ANSI/ASSP A1264.2: Provision of Slip Resistance on Walking/Working Surfaces
• NFPA 101: Life Safety Code
• UL 410: Slip Resistance of Floor Surface Materials
• ADA Standards: For accessible design and requirements

Consulting these standards alongside ASTM F2948-21 ensures a holistic and well-documented approach to walkway safety auditing, supporting regulatory compliance and public safety objectives.
