TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Slip resistance and the UK Slip Resistance Research Group JO - Safety science A1 - Kime, GA SP - 223 EP - 229 VL - 14 IS - 3-4 N2 - Kime, G.A., 1991. Slip resistance and the UK Slip Resistance Research Group. Safety Science, 14: 213-219.This paper highlights some of the problems concerned with slipping accidents and gives the history of the UK Slip Resistance Group and the use of dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) to characterise the various slidder rubbers. Discussion concerning the theory of slipping and the influences other than the coefficient of friction that make up slip resistance, and the clarification of the parameters for a safe floor surface are presented.
