Slip testing
for Waste & Recycling Facilities.

Waste and recycling facilities — including MRFs (Materials Recovery Facilities) and energy-from-waste plants — combine continuous wet-and-residue exposure with high-MHE traffic and biological contamination across receiving and sorting zones.

Surfaces tested in waste & recycling facilities

The waste & recycling facilities surface vocabulary.

Every waste & recycling facilities site has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol. We test the actual surfaces present, not a generic baseline.

    Hardened-aggregate concrete in tipping hallsheavy-duty wear

  2. 02 · SURFACE

    Steel walkways at sorting platformstested independently

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

Generic slip testing misses the zones that actually generate incidents. Waste & Recycling Facilities sites have distinct high-risk zones that warrant independent testing.

Tipping-hall floor

Continuous wet-and-residue exposure from incoming waste.

Sorting-conveyor perimeter

Operative density and conveyor-debris.

Liquid-waste drainage zones

Localised wet-and-chemical exposure.

Regulatory framework
