Slip testing
for Fulfilment Centres.

E-commerce fulfilment centres present the most evolving slip-test brief in UK industry — robot-pick automation, mezzanine multi-level pick zones, and 24-hour operative density combine to create exposure patterns that traditional warehouse testing protocols don't address.

Surfaces tested in fulfilment centres

The fulfilment centres surface vocabulary.

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

  1. 01 · SURFACE

    Power-floated concrete with sealer in robot-pick zoneswith stringent flatness tolerances per FM2 specification

  2. 02 · SURFACE

    Resin walkways in manual-pick zonespedestrian-MHE segregation tested independently

  3. 03 · SURFACE

    Steel mezzanine multi-level deckingfall-from-height-after-slip risk applies

  4. 04 · SURFACE

    Anti-slip thresholds at goods-in and goods-outweather carry-in continuous

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

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

Robot-zone perimeter

Where robotic and manual zones meet, distinct testing brief applies.

Multi-level mezzanine staircase landings

High operative-density transit creates concentrated wear.

Pack-station conveyor return zones

Continuous packaging debris and tape residue.

Regulatory framework

Fulfilment Centres · regulatory context.

Fulfilment centre slip testing operates under HSE INDG225, Workplace Regulations 1992 Reg 12 and PUWER 1998. Where robotic systems are in scope, additional considerations apply for mixed pedestrian-robot zones. UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 reports are the documentation expected by HSE inspectors and PL insurers.
