Slip Meters; How Much Do You Need?

Author: Miller, B. C.
Year: 1999
Type: Web Page

Abstract:

Slip meters are important tools for verifying that new floor products meet expectations and determining when the products have failed but in most cases when people fall on slippery floors they fall on contaminants, and contaminants are hard to measure. The figures can be meaningless even in civil litigation. The trick is to isolate the contaminants and remove them, not measure them.
