Slip testing
for Textile & Garment Manufacturing.

Textile manufacturing combines fine-fibre-and-dust accumulation, oil-and-lubricant exposure on knitting and weaving machinery, and dye-house wet-floor exposure — producing distinct slip-test briefs across operations within the same facility.

Surfaces tested in textile & garment manufacturing

The textile & garment manufacturing surface vocabulary.

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

  1. 01 · SURFACE

    Painted concrete in mill hallstested representatively

  2. 02 · SURFACE

    Resin coatings in dye-house zoneswet-and-chemical exposure

  3. 03 · SURFACE

    Anti-slip aggregate at dye-vat platformstested independently

  4. 04 · SURFACE

    Vinyl in cutting and sewing zonestested under representative wear

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

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

Dye-house wet-floor exposure

Continuous water and dye-chemistry exposure drops wet-PTV measurably.

Knitting-machine oil carry-out

Localised hydrocarbon contamination.

Fibre-dust accumulation aisles

Fine-particulate slip exposure.

Regulatory framework

Textile & Garment Manufacturing · regulatory context.

Textile manufacturing slip testing operates under HSE INDG225 and COSHH 2002 where dye chemistry is in scope. UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 reports support HSE compliance.
