UKAS Slip Testing Serving Cork & County Cork

Cork, with around 225,000 people in the metropolitan area, is a significant market for slip resistance testing. Ireland's second city and the capital of Munster. Cork's status as a pharmaceutical and tech hub, combined with a dense hospitality sector, makes it a priority market for slip testing across the south.

We travel to Cork regularly from our UK laboratory, carrying out on-site BS 7976 pendulum testing, lab sample certification, floor safety audits and expert witness work under the same UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation (Schedule No. 7933) that governs every other job we do. A single accredited report is valid in Irish and UK courts, with insurers, and with the HSA (Republic) or HSE NI (Northern Ireland).

What Makes Cork Different

Cork\’s pharmaceutical plants are particularly demanding: clean-room floors, chemical-resistant coatings, wash-down zones and loading bays all carry different slip profiles. Testing these sites requires careful coordination with production schedules and strict PPE protocols — we do this work regularly.

We completed a multi-zone pendulum test at a pharmaceutical facility in Little Island where a new epoxy floor had been installed across the production, storage and loading bay areas. PTV readings varied dramatically between zones — from 42 (safe) in production to 19 (hazardous) in a loading dock where forklift tyre wear had polished the surface within six months.
