UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accredited slip resistance testing for food manufacturing sites across the North West — covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria — including Trafford Park, the Liverpool Freeport, the Stanlow refinery cluster, the Macclesfield pharmaceutical belt, the Crewe rail-and-automotive cluster, the Warton/Samlesbury aerospace site, and the Sellafield nuclear cluster.
North West · 5 counties
Sector profile. Food manufacturing creates the most demanding slip-testing environment in UK industry. Wet washdown regimes, organic residue, hot/cold zone transitions, hygienic resin floors, and BRC-driven cleaning chemistry all interact to produce slip risks that vary hour-by-hour through a production shift.
Regional industrial cluster. The North West is a key region for food manufacturing activity — covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria — including Trafford Park, the Liverpool Freeport, the Stanlow refinery cluster, the Macclesfield pharmaceutical belt, the Crewe rail-and-automotive cluster, the Warton/Samlesbury aerospace site, and the Sellafield nuclear cluster.
Every food manufacturing site in the North West has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol.
Polyurethane methyl methacrylate (PMMA) hygienic flooringthe dominant high-care food production finish, with PTV strongly affected by cleaning chemistry
Cementitious polyurethane (Flowfresh, Ucrete) heavy-duty production floorsthe BRC-favoured finish for wet-washdown zones
Epoxy resin floors in low-care zones, packing halls and ancillary areastested under representative wet conditions
Mechanically-keyed anti-slip aggregate finishes at process-water entry pointsthe highest-priority intervention zones
Stainless steel and aluminium tread plates at platform transitionstested independently of floor
Drainage-channel grilles and floor-drain surroundshigh-incident edge zones
