“…Pushing the cart and the nonflat floor (resistance factor against moving the cart) could lead to high initial and sustained forces. In Haslam, Boocock, Lemon, et al's study, the mean acceptable load on a slip-resistant surface was 430 N [26]. In Ciriello's study, the mean (SD) initial and sustained forces were 314.7 (51.6) and 179.6 (24.7) N, respectively [25], which is different from the results obtained in the present study (Table 5).…”

“…This could be attributable to the heavy weight of parts, weight of the cart and the nonflat floor. In Haslam et al's study, the mean acceptable load in the slip-resistant surface/pulling was 435 N [26]. In Ciriello's study, the mean (SD) initial and sustained forces in the pulling tasks were 305.8 (61.5) and 190.2 (46) N, respectively [25].…”

“…The act of pushing wheeled devices, including carts and wheelchairs requires significant force (Ciriello et al, 2001;Haslam, et al, 2002;Jung et al, 2005., Petzall, 1995. The push force is affected by a number of factors.…”

“…Cart pushing is an example of applying a two-handed force with feet moving. Such dynamic pushing on various walkways is not only associated with localized muscle fatigue (Hoozemans et al, 1998;van der Beek et al, 2000), but also with occurrence of slips and falls in the workplace (Haslam et al, 2002;Gronqvist et al, 2001). A slip-induced fall leading to an injury might occur when the friction required to push a loaded cart by a worker exceeds the available friction at the shoe-walkway interface.…”
