Ice Slip Resistance Test | Winter Safety Boots with Ice Traction

Ice Slip Resistance Test for Winter Safety Boots

Snow, ice and freezing temperatures can significantly increase slip hazards in outdoor workplaces.

Winter safety footwear requires outsole designs that maintain traction under cold and slippery conditions.

Why Standard Safety Boots Fail in Winter?

Winter environments create risks that standard safety footwear was never designed to handle.

Workers face:

• Ice-covered surfaces

• Snow accumulation

• Sub-zero temperatures

• Wet conditions

• Reduced mobility

Ice Slip Resistance FAQ

What Is an Ice Slip Resistance Test and Why Is It Important?

An ice slip resistance test evaluates how effectively footwear maintains traction on icy surfaces under controlled laboratory conditions.

Tests such as SATRA TM144 measure the coefficient of friction (CoF) between the outsole and ice to help assess slip performance.

Reliable ice traction is especially important for workers in cold storage, construction, utilities, mining and outdoor winter environments, where slips and falls remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries.
