Slip And Fall Risk Lowdown How Friction Coefficient Floor Slipperiness And Surface Roughness Fuel Incidents And Why Perception Matters For Prevention And Safety
✔️ 1st ed, 54 pages, English; COF, slipperiness & surface roughness focus
This book explains how the coefficient of friction (COF), floor slipperiness, and surface roughness interact to influence slip and fall incidents. It also examines how people perceive slipperiness using measured COF values, with questionnaire surveys among manufacturing workers to identify risk factors and perceptions. A tribology approach links contaminants, floor and footwear materials to incident risk. Safety professionals in manufacturing and facilities management use these insights to inform prevention strategies and footwear/flooring choices.
