UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accredited slip resistance testing for warehouses sites across the North West — covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria — including Trafford Park, the Liverpool Freeport, the Stanlow refinery cluster, the Macclesfield pharmaceutical belt, the Crewe rail-and-automotive cluster, the Warton/Samlesbury aerospace site, and the Sellafield nuclear cluster.

Sector profile. Warehouses are the highest-volume slip-testing brief in UK industrial. The combination of high MHE traffic, racking-aisle wet-shoe carry-in from yard areas, sealed-concrete coatings under load, and rapidly-evolving e-commerce fulfilment formats creates a continuous stream of new exposure patterns.
Regional industrial cluster. The North West is a key region for warehouses activity — covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria — including Trafford Park, the Liverpool Freeport, the Stanlow refinery cluster, the Macclesfield pharmaceutical belt, the Crewe rail-and-automotive cluster, the Warton/Samlesbury aerospace site, and the Sellafield nuclear cluster.
Every warehouses site in the North West has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol.
Power-floated concrete with sealer or polyurethane topcoatthe dominant warehouse base finish, tested at racking aisles, pick-faces, and yard-to-internal transitions
Resin-coated concrete in goods-in and goods-out zoneswhere vehicle tyre-washdown and wet-pallet ingress drive elevated wet-PTV exposure
Anti-slip safety coatings at MHE charging pointsparticularly important where ATEX zone classification applies
Vinyl or epoxy walkways through rackingpedestrian-MHE segregation lines must be tested independently of the main aisle
Loading dock leveller plates and dock-edge transitionssteel surfaces with high incident rates due to weather carry-in
Mezzanine flooring (chipboard, steel, composite)often missed but a defined fall-from-height-after-slip risk
