Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present the relative evaluation method of slipperiness of floors and walls with hands from the viewpoint of safety. First, sensory tests were carried out to make sensory scales of slipperiness on various samples with hands and evaluation scales on that from the viewpoint of safety. Next, slip resistance, which is corresponding with sensory scales, was measured by the slip meter adapted from that of handrails and grab bars developed in the former research by author. Then, relation between evaluation scales and slip resistance was presented as a relative evaluation index. Finally, the relative evaluation method of slipperiness of floors and walls with hands from the view point of safety was presented.
