Slip testing
for Dairy Processing.

Dairy processing combines continuous wet-floor exposure from milk handling, CIP cleaning chemistry, and chilled-storage interface zones — making PTV management a continuous operational concern rather than a periodic audit line item.

Surfaces tested in dairy processing

The dairy processing surface vocabulary.

Every dairy processing site has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol. We test the actual surfaces present, not a generic baseline.

  2. 02 · SURFACE

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

Generic slip testing misses the zones that actually generate incidents. Dairy Processing sites have distinct high-risk zones that warrant independent testing.

Milk-spill and overflow zones

Pasteuriser and tank overflow creates routine wet-PTV exposure.

CIP cycle pre-and-post zones

Cleaning-in-place residue interacts with operative footwear.

Chiller and ageing-room thresholds

Condensation at door cycling drops PTV measurably.

Regulatory framework

Dairy Processing · regulatory context.

Dairy processing slip testing supports HSE INDG225, BRC Global Standard for Food Safety, and FSA Approved Establishment requirements where applicable. UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 reports support continued FSA approval and BRC certification.
