Comparison of Two Test Methods for the Assessment of the Slip Resistance of Four Different Safety Shoes
As slip accidents are increasing, the efforts to improve the slip resistance of safety shoes are being conducted around the world. In addition, it is necessary to measure the slip resistance of the shoes appropriately. This study was performed to assess the slip resistance of four types of safety shoes using the HSL (Health & Safety Laboratory) Ramp Test and OSHRI (Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute) articulated strut. To compare the results from each method, test conditions using 2 surfaces, steel plate and ceramic tile, and 2 possible contaminants, water and detergent solution were used. The safety shoes used for the tests have specific features. One pair of shoes is for use on ice, another has many small raised blocks with multiple leading edges, and the others are for use on scaffolding.
