A Forensic Study of Slip Resistance
Did a person fall in a bathroom?
Bathing and bathroom facilities represent an environment that can result in accidents and claims involving falls in bathtubs, showers, bathrooms, bathing facility floors, and bathroom floors. The bathing process involves more than just the bathing surface and includes the manner in which the bathing facility is used. ASTM Standard F462 – the only former ASTM standard for bathing facilities – had evaluated the frictional acceptability of certain bathing surfaces. Our expertise in the application of the Mark I tester specified by this standard can assist you in your case evaluation.
Could the shower valve regulate water temperature?
Did scalding occur?
