The mechanisms of pedestrian slip on flooring contaminated with solid particles [PDF]
, 2009 Statistics by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) suggest that slips, trips and falls account for up to one in three major workplace accidents. The vast majority of these accidents are the result of contaminant (fluid or solid) within the shoe-floor

Assessment of Friction Losses and Friction Factor in Polypropylene Pipes
Tikrit Journal of Engineering SciencesRecently, polypropylene (PPR) pipes have been increasingly used to replace galvanized iron pipes in most water transmission systems due to their ease of installation and perceived health safety. Also, PPR has engineering features that do not deteriorate

Relativistic Dynamical Friction in the Weak Scattering Limit
, 1994 A test mass, $M$, moving through an ambient medium of light particles with lower average kinetic energy than itself suffers a deceleration caused by its scattering of the light particles. The phenomenon is usually referred to as dynamical friction.
