This study attempts to incorporate a direct and an indirect measurement technique to determine friction and normal forces at the hand/handle interface, without the introduction of a sensor or alternations to natural conditions. The two experiments provide a closer insight into the actual mechanisms that occur at the hand/handle interface at the moment of hand slip. A group of thirty subjects aged 17 to 45 participated in each of the two parts to this study to assess friction properties between five grabrail materials (stainless steel. powder-coated steel, chrome, textured aluminium and knurled steel) and three hand treatments (dry, wet and soapy).
