slipperiness correlated with the actual COF values. Thirty-three ironworkers experienced in working and walking on steel surfaces and 23 university students inexperienced with these tasks participated in the study. Subjective slipperiness ratings for a variety of climbing and walking conditions were obtained from the subjects. It was found that subjects could identify differences in the slipperiness of four types of steel coating tested in the study. There was a high correlation between the subjective ratings and the measured COF values. Subjects did not slip at the COF of 0.41 but did lose footing at a COF of 0.20.
