Occupational slips, trips and falls on the same level (STFL) result in substantial injuries
worldwide. This paper summarises the state of science regarding STFL, outlining relevant …

Measurement of the coefficient of friction (COF) between the shoe/sole and the floor is
essential in understanding the risk of slip** accidents. In this research, the COF of five …

Slip** and falling are common phenomena in both workplaces and our daily activities.
The risks associated with slip** and falling are related to the materials of footwear/floor …

Recurrent injuries related to slips and falls are common in workplaces, caused due to
reduction of friction between the floor and footwear, due to material wear. However, due to …

Literature has shown a general trend that slip resistance performance improves with floor
surface roughness. However, whether slip resistance properties are linearly correlated with …

The chapter includes laws of friction, friction coefficients, negative friction coefficient, friction
in polymers and their composites, polymers, fillers (micro-and nanominerals, ceramic fillers …

The dependence of the sliding mode (repeated vs. non-repeated reciprocated sliding) on
the friction and wear behavior of ball-on-flat, brittle non-metallic interfaces in ambient air …

The slip resistance of pedestrian surfaces is usually characterized by friction coefficients
measured with samples of shoe sole materials. The factors that influence the results of …

Background Increasing the slip resistance of floor surfaces would be desirable, but there is a
lack of evidence on whether traction properties are linearly correlated with the topographic …

Fall incidents are a leading safety concern in the hospital industry. Whereas roughening the
floor surface can reduce fall risks, there remains unanswered controversies between …
