slippery surfaces
Where feet slide
Slippery surfaces are floors, roads, or other areas where traction is reduced, creating a fall or skid hazard.
The phrase appears constantly in warning signs, safety regulations, and liability notices: Caution: slippery surfaces when wet.
Ice, water, oil, and polished floors all create slippery surfaces.
