Slip testing
for Confectionery & Snack Manufacturing.

Confectionery manufacturing combines sugar-syrup splashback, fryer-oil contamination, and chocolate-handling zones with continuous wet-and-sticky residue exposure — producing a PTV brief that requires both wet and contaminated-dry testing.

Surfaces tested in confectionery & snack manufacturing

The confectionery & snack manufacturing surface vocabulary.

Every confectionery & snack manufacturing site has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol. We test the actual surfaces present, not a generic baseline.

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

Generic slip testing misses the zones that actually generate incidents. Confectionery & Snack Manufacturing sites have distinct high-risk zones that warrant independent testing.

Sugar-syrup handling zones

Sticky residue defeats wet-PTV management; cleaning-cycle timing critical.

Fryer hall perimeter

Hydrocarbon contamination from frying oil reduces wet-PTV measurably.

Chocolate vat platform

Cocoa-butter splashback creates localised slip exposure.

Regulatory framework

Confectionery & Snack Manufacturing · regulatory context.

Confectionery slip testing supports HSE INDG225, Workplace Regulations 1992 Reg 12, and BRC Global Standard for Food Safety. UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 reports include both wet and contaminated-dry PTV measurements.
