- Floor_Slip_Resistance_Testing abstract "Floor slip resistance testing is the science of measuring the coefficient of friction (or resistance to slip incidents) of flooring surfaces, either in a laboratory (before or after installation) or on floors in situ. Slip resistance testing (or floor friction testing) may be desired by the building's owner or manager when there has been a report of a slip and fall incident, when there has been a report of a near-incident, or (preferably) before the flooring is installed on the property. Flooring is tested using a tribometer to evaluate (when possible) the propensity for a pedestrian slip event on it, either dry or (most often) when wet with water or contaminated with other substances such as cooking residues, oil, etc. There have been numerous floor slip resistance testing tribometers and lab devices produced around the world to measure walkway traction; the reliability of these tribometers may be determined through examination of relevant research. It is of note that a tribometer's measurements of walkway traction are the most useful when reliably correlated to reliable human subject slip research.The various tribometers available claim to measure various traction measurements, such as static coefficient of friction, dynamic coefficient of friction, transitional coefficient of friction, static slip resistance, and slip resistance - for convenience, these will be referred to as slip resistance. To assess a floor's slip resistance, we first need a reliable, thoroughly researched floor friction test method. Test methods may benefit from a consensus standard committee's balloting procedure, wherein various interested parties may offer comments and criticisms on the test method - but a non-balloted test method may be just as robust, depending upon the technical details. Other elements of test methods may include a precision/bias statement, wherein the statistical repeatibility and reproducibility of tribometer tests conducted using that test method may be documented - based on the results of an Interlaboratory Study.On any one particular floor surface, the different tribometers available may each provide different measurement results, due to the mechanical and operational differences between the tribometer designs. Given consistent measurement results, it may be possible to determine a minimum safety criterion to apply to the results. Such a criterion, if it is meant to be used in the context of pedestrian safety, should be derived from human subject slip testing. One recent study, "Validation of Walkway Tribometers - Establishing a Reference Standard"÷, utilized multi-subject human slip testing to rank and statistically differentiate a set of standardized walkway reference surface tiles, and then tested 9 tribometer designs on these reference surface tiles to determine whether each tribometer design could rank and statistically differentiate the surfaces in the same way the human test subjects had. Only certain tribometers were able to do this. This research formed the basis for consensus standard ASTM F2508, "Standard Practice for Validation, Calibration, and Certification of Walkway Tribometers using Reference Surfaces".§§If the floor is likely to be regularly lubricated with water or slippery contaminants in use, the floor should provide adequate slip resistance under these expected conditions. Floor slip resistance testing can be carried out dry, wet with water, or lubricated with relevant contaminants. Dry slip resistance is not an indicator of wet slip resistance — in fact the two often vary inversely — so reliable wet slip resistance testing is often needed as well as reliable dry testing. Generally, pedestrians do not slip on dry walkways made of typical walkway materials, when walking normally and wearing normal footwear.".
