A study of the slip characteristics of applied epoxy resin flooring and thin coat epoxy base materials
Tests the slip characteristics of several applied resin flooring constructions and highlights why roughness measurements and pendulum results may differ.
Investigation of slip resistance and the hygienic cleaning of floors in hospital settings
Explores whether slip-resistant healthcare flooring can also satisfy the cleaning and hygiene needs of busy hospital environments.
A study of the effect of modifying the European Standard mechanical slip resistance test for footwear
Investigates whether changing test settings in the mechanical EN ISO 13287 footwear test improves agreement with the human-based HSL ramp method.
A further study of the influence of dry contaminants on pedestrian slips
Investigates how powders and other dry contaminants alter friction, and explores appropriate procedures for testing floor and footwear performance under dry contamination.
Footwear and modifications to goods vehicles in the UK road haulage sector: A survey of goods vehicle drivers
Surveys drivers about slip-resistant footwear provision and use, and vehicle access measures such as ladders, steps, handrails and load-area surfaces.
SSHeW RCT: Plain English summary
An accessible four-page summary of the SSHeW randomised footwear trial, written to explain the intervention and results to a general audience.
Understanding the friction measured by standardised test methodologies used to assess shoe-surface slip risk
Mechanical friction tests of the same wet surface can disagree because their speeds, loads, contact geometries and deformation mechanisms differ.
A study of the slip characteristics of metal flooring materials
Investigates industrial metal flooring and how profile, surface texture and wet contamination affect pedestrian slip potential.
The use of laser scanning as a method for measuring stairways following an accident
Compares traditional stair measurements with 3D laser scanning in investigations of two fatal stair accidents, including nosing geometry and wear.
