Assessing footwear slip-resistance is critical to preventing slip and fall accidents. The STM603 (SATRA Technology) is commonly used to assess footwear friction but its ability to predict human slips while walking is unclear. This study aimed to assess this apparatus’ ability to predict slips across footwear designs and to determine if modifying the test parameters alters predictions. The available coefficient of friction (ACOF) was measured with the device for nine different footwear designs using twelve testing conditions with varying force, speed and shoe angle. The occurrence of slipping and required coefficient of friction was quantified from human gait data including 124 exposures to liquid contaminants. ACOF values varied across the test conditions leading to different slip prediction models. Generally, a larger shoe angle (13°) and higher vertical forces (400 or 500 N) modestly improved predictions of slipping. This study can potentially guide improvements in predictive test conditions for this device. Practitioner Summary: Frictional measures by the STM603 (SATRA Technology) were able to predict human slips under liquid contaminant conditions. Test parameters did have an influence on the measurements. An increased shoe-floor testing angle resulted in better slip predictions than test methods specified in the ASTM F2913 standard.
