Training
The National Floor Safety Institute’s (NFSI) Walkway Auditor Certificate Holder (WACH) Training course objective is to educate individuals involved in the walkway safety industry on the proper techniques of auditing the traction of building walkways through observation and measurement based on the NFSI B101 Standards.
This program’s mission is “to educate professionals about current walkway standards, the measurement of coefficient of friction and the performance of a proper walkway audit.”
Our Walkway Auditor Certificate Holder now has an online option! The online version can be taken when it is convenient for your schedule for Sessions 1-4 and Session 5 is offered several times per year via Zoom so the whole course can be taken from the comfort of your home or office with no travel expenses! With the online version, you will still receive a copy of the course slides and copies of the NFSI standards that are covered in the Course.
