Industrial & Workshops — Slip Testing in Liverpool

Liverpool Slip Testing — operated by Surface Performance Ltd under UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, Lab Schedule No. 7933 — provides BS 7976-2 pendulum slip resistance testing to engineering workshops, MRO facilities, light industrial parks and trade-counter operators across Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, St Helens, Knowsley, Halton and the wider Merseyside and Cheshire region.

The pendulum test, carried out in accordance with BS 7976-2:2002+A1:2013, is the preferred pedestrian slip test method recommended by the Health and Safety Executive and the UK Slip Resistance Group. It is the only slip test evidence accepted by UK courts in civil slip injury claims.

Every industrial & workshop environment has its own slip risk profile. Our typical survey scope covers workshop floors, welding bays, MHE routes, walkway segregation and external loading aprons.

Reports are written to align with the regulatory framework that applies to industrial & workshops — including Workplace Regs 1992, HSE engineering guidance and BS 7976-2.

Our typical client base in this sector includes workshop managers, group H&S leads and FM teams. We deliver single-site testing alongside group-level programmes for multi-site operators across Liverpool and the wider region.

• BS 7976-2 pendulum slip testing in both dry and wet (contaminated) conditions, with the appropriate slider (Slider 96 shod, Slider 55 barefoot).
• Surface roughness (Rz) measurement on smooth surfaces where pendulum results alone could mislead.
• Photographic and locational evidence at every test point.
• UKAS-endorsed report within five working days.
• Independent recommendations — we don't sell flooring or anti-slip treatments.

Industrial & Workshops sites across Liverpool typically attend within 1–2 weeks of booking. Multi-site programmes coordinated across multiple industrial & workshops venues deliver consistent UKAS-accredited evidence at predictable per-site pricing.
