UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accredited slip resistance testing for food manufacturing sites across the Midlands — covering the West Midlands metropolitan county, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Northamptonshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Lincolnshire — including DIRFT, Hams Hall, the East Midlands Freeport, the South Yorkshire Investment Zone, the West Midlands Investment Zone, and the Stoke ceramics cluster.
Midlands · 11 counties
Sector profile. Food manufacturing creates the most demanding slip-testing environment in UK industry. Wet washdown regimes, organic residue, hot/cold zone transitions, hygienic resin floors, and BRC-driven cleaning chemistry all interact to produce slip risks that vary hour-by-hour through a production shift.
Regional industrial cluster. The Midlands is a key region for food manufacturing activity — covering the West Midlands metropolitan county, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Northamptonshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Lincolnshire — including DIRFT, Hams Hall, the East Midlands Freeport, the South Yorkshire Investment Zone, the West Midlands Investment Zone, and the Stoke ceramics cluster.
Every food manufacturing site in the Midlands has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol.
Polyurethane methyl methacrylate (PMMA) hygienic flooringthe dominant high-care food production finish, with PTV strongly affected by cleaning chemistry
Cementitious polyurethane (Flowfresh, Ucrete) heavy-duty production floorsthe BRC-favoured finish for wet-washdown zones
Epoxy resin floors in low-care zones, packing halls and ancillary areastested under representative wet conditions
Mechanically-keyed anti-slip aggregate finishes at process-water entry pointsthe highest-priority intervention zones
Stainless steel and aluminium tread plates at platform transitionstested independently of floor
Drainage-channel grilles and floor-drain surroundshigh-incident edge zones
