The floorings were used on decks, stairs and passages as well as in engine-rooms, kitchens and other indoor and outdoor facilities. The kinetic coefficient of friction (μk1) was measured with a prototype apparatus, which simulates the movements of a human foot and the forces applied to the underfoot surface during a sudden slip on the heel.The measured average μk1s of the assessed floorings varied from 0.05 to 0.64. Four floorings were classified as very slip-resistant and one as slip-resistant. All the others were classified as slippery. The rough floorings were more slip-resistant than the smooth ones. The correlation between the arithmetical average roughness (Ra) and the average μk1 of the assessed surfaces was very significant (p < 0.001). When selecting deck and other underfoot surfaces and developing new flooring products, more attention should be paid to their surface texture. From the slip resistance point of view the adequate Ra value was 7–9 μm, so smoother surfaces should be avoided. A raised-pattern on floorings also improved the slip resistance compared to corresponding unpatterned floorings.</div>","PeriodicalId":100816,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Accidents","volume":"13 4","pages":"Pages 291-302"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0376-6349(90)90035-T","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82951677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paradoxically, firms seem unable or unwilling to control such wastage. Motivation to engage in prevention activities can be viewed as either voluntary, incentive or coercive, with the first as a preferred source. An extensive cost classification is provided: prevention, accident and OHS costs; fixed and variable insurance costs; direct and indirect costs. The authors hypothesize an informational deficiency by which the typical employer underestimates his accident costs and therefore the potential profitability of prevention outlays. The hidden or indirect costs, which are uncaptured by the accounting system or not attributed to accidents, are grouped under six headings: wage costs, material damage, administrator's time, production losses, other costs and intangible costs. A new, graphical model is developed showing that the identification of indirect costs will motivate cost-minimizing employers to increase investment in accident prevention. Older empirical research (Heinrich, Simonds) finds substantial indirect costs while very recent studies are divided on the level of such costs and therefore on their ability to motivate firms into greater prevention expenditures. The present authors discovered over $1100.00 (Cdn.) per time-loss accident in Quebec in 1988 and in excess of $2900.00 (Cdn.) in the Canadian Road Transport Industry in 1989.</div>","PeriodicalId":100816,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Accidents","volume":"13 4","pages":"Pages 255-270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0376-6349(90)90033-R","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81772469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
