Traction of shoes across different floorings and different contaminants the traction or acof were correlated for certain cases when changing both the floor and contaminant conditions table 3.
The influence of different footwear on floor contaminatio.
The importance of walking as a source of floor contamination and the influence of different footwear routines on floor contamination was evaluated.
Shoe soles of various tread design are very common.
No significant difference in floor contamination could be seen with different footwear ordinary shoes clean shoes shoe covers.
The contamination of a floor due to walking was about 16 times higher than contamination of the floor due to sedimentation only measured with impression plates.
In a study conducted by gupta a et al to find the efficacy of protective footwear on bacterial floor colonization the floor and air colony counts showed no significant difference in the two.
The contamination of a floor due to walking was about 16 times higher than contamination of the floor due to sedimentation only measured with impression plates.
The risks associated with slipping and falling are related to the materials of footwear floor contamination condition and geometric design of the sole.
Walking gave the highest redispersal factor 3 5 x 10 3 m 1 which was three times higher than for blowing and 17 times higher than for mopping.
Slipping and falling are common phenomena in both workplaces and our daily activities.
The redispersal factor for bacteria carrying particles from a contaminated floor was determined after mopping blowing and walking activity.
The importance of walking as a source of floor contamination and the influence of different footwear routines on floor contamination was evaluated.
The influence of different footwear on floor.
