UKAS slip testing for
agricultural and farm facilities.

Why agricultural and farm facilities commission UKAS accredited slip testing

Agricultural operators face distinctive slip exposures: dairy parlour wet conditions, feed store dust combined with moisture, and outdoor yard surfaces with animal waste contamination. UKAS accredited testing supports Red Tractor, organic certification, and insurance-led risk management.

Specific issues we see in agricultural and farm facilities

• Milking parlour floors. Water, milk and animal waste contamination.
• Feed store areas. Dust combined with moisture.
• Yard and collection surfaces. Concrete with animal waste contamination.
• Farmhouse business-use areas. Farm-shop or agri-tourism facilities.
