Slip testing
for Engineering Workshops.

Engineering workshops — from precision machining to general engineering — combine continuous coolant exposure with hydrocarbon-and-swarf contamination across machine-shop floors, producing a wet-PTV brief that varies with cleaning frequency and machine duty cycles.

Surfaces tested in engineering workshops

The engineering workshops surface vocabulary.

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

  2. 02 · SURFACE

    Resin coatings around CNC and milling machinescoolant-resistant

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

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

Machine-tool coolant carry-out

Cutting-fluid mist accumulates on surrounding floor.

Swarf-and-chip transit zones

Sharp-edge contamination defeats cleaning.

Hydraulic-equipment leak zones

Localised hydrocarbon exposure.

Regulatory framework

Engineering Workshops · regulatory context.

Engineering workshop slip testing operates under HSE INDG225, PUWER 1998, and HSG129. UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 reports support HSE compliance and PL-insurer documentation.
