职业应用滑倒和福尔斯是非致命性工作事故的最常见原因。通过确保鞋与地面之间有足够的摩擦力，可以防止工作场所的滑倒。当鞋子磨损时，摩擦系数会降低，这会增加穿鞋者滑倒和跌倒受伤的风险。我们发现，在工作场所穿的鞋通常具有比新鞋低约25%的摩擦性能，并且对于具有最高初始摩擦性能的鞋，这种影响最大。这些结果表明，通过鞋类更换计划可以实现摩擦性能的改善。
Occupational ApplicationsSlips and falls are among the most common reason for non-fatal work accidents. Preventing slips in the workplace can be achieved by ensuring sufficient friction between the shoe and floor. As shoes are worn down, there is a decrease in the coefficient of friction, which increases the risk of injury from a slip and fall for the wearer. We found that shoes worn in the workplace commonly had friction performance that is about 25% lower than their new condition and that this effect was largest for shoes with the highest initial friction performance. These results inform the magnitude of improvement in friction performance that can be achieved through footwear replacement programs.
