Slip testing
for Petrochemical & Refinery Sites.

Petrochemical and refinery sites combine continuous hydrocarbon contamination, ATEX-zoned hazardous areas across most of the site, and turnaround-cycle operational windows that make scheduling pendulum testing a core part of the planning process.

Surfaces tested in petrochemical & refinery sites

The petrochemical & refinery sites surface vocabulary.

Every petrochemical & refinery sites site has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol. We test the actual surfaces present, not a generic baseline.

  1. 01 · SURFACE

    Chemical-resistant resin around process unitsATEX-classified zones

  2. 02 · SURFACE

    Steel walkways and platforms throughout the sitetested independently

  3. 03 · SURFACE

    Concrete with chemical-resistant sealer in tank farmstested representatively

  4. 04 · SURFACE

    Anti-slip aggregate finishes at sample stationswet-and-residue exposure

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

Generic slip testing misses the zones that actually generate incidents. Petrochemical & Refinery Sites sites have distinct high-risk zones that warrant independent testing.

Process-unit drip zones

Continuous hydrocarbon residue around process equipment.

Sample-station perimeter

Sampling activity creates routine spillage.

Tanker loading bay

Hose-connection drips at loading points.

Regulatory framework

Petrochemical & Refinery Sites · regulatory context.

Petrochemical site slip testing operates under HSE INDG225, DSEAR 2002, COMAH 2015 (most sites are top-tier), and ATEX equipment classification. UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 reports support COMAH safety case documentation.
