Abstract: The objective of this study is to conduct human slip research on three bathtubs on the market and to measure the friction demand of participants stepping into and out of the bathtubs when dry and wet. The study will involve a total of three sessions to test three bathtub surfaces, where participants will walk into the tub and step out while wearing fall arresting harness systems for safety. During these sessions, resistance forces under the foot and motion of the foot movements will be measured. The study will quantify the minimum frictional performance required for a bathing surface to reduce slips and falls. CPSC will publish the study and will share the results of the study with the ASTM F15.03 Subcommittee on Safety Standards for Bathtub and Shower Structures working on replacing ASTM F462.
