Slips and trips are the most common cause of major injuries at work and can happen almost anywhere-broken bones and other serious injuries frequently result from major slips and slipping can also be the initial cause for a range of other types of accident, such as fall from height. Significant numbers of slip accidents also occur in the home and during sports and recreation.
Footwear has to be fit-for-purpose, which means that it should be fit for all its intended purposes, including any indicated by the retailer, and provide a reasonable and appropriate degree of safety. Legislation and regulations help to define what this means. Where there are specific hazards to be managed, it may mean providing slip-resistant safety floors and/or slip-resistant footwear.
Footwear non-slip performance directly affects the safety and comfort of shoes, poor slip, means that there is a potential risk to personal safety, especially easily lead to crash in the wet, light, slippery ground for children and the elderly and other vulnerable groups. Many slippage and falls are very serious. Slip and slippage occur only for a moment, but the consequences may be accompanied by life. At present, slipping has been considered to be one of the main causes of accidents in the workplace, public places and home environment.
The unique design of the slip resistance tester can measure the slip resistance of the shoes with the standard ground, and measure the slip resistance of the floor material with the standard sole material. The fast and accurate control and data acquisition system ensure the force and speed requirements in the test process with the intuitive and convenient visual display results.
