Surfaces tested in materials recovery facilities (mrfs)

The materials recovery facilities (mrfs) surface vocabulary.

Every materials recovery facilities (mrfs) 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. Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) sites have distinct high-risk zones that warrant independent testing.

Sorting-line operative perimeter

Continuous fine-paper-and-plastic dust.

Conveyor underbelly maintenance

Hydraulic-residue accumulation.

Bale-handling MHE crossings

Pedestrian-MHE interaction.
