| One of the most common causes of accidents in food industry buildings is slipping caused, in particular, by the spilling of liquid substances on the floor, which reduces the coefficient of friction between floor and sole. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of the most common types of flooring used in the food industry, where, owing to the characteristics of the manufacturing stages, the probability of liquid spilling is higher. Five different types of flooring, usually utilized in the food industry, were tested: two unglazed gres tiles and three resin floors. The tiles were different in surface shape: one was flat (gres A), the other was a tile with embossed surface (gres B). The surface of the resin used was made up of a three-component... |
