Slip testing
for Self-Storage Facilities.

Self-storage facilities have a distinct slip-test brief from warehouses — public-access corridors, drive-up unit thresholds, and multi-level loading lifts produce exposure patterns closer to retail than to industrial, but with the asset specifications and 24/7 operating window of…

Surfaces tested in self-storage facilities

The self-storage facilities surface vocabulary.

Every self-storage facilities site has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol. We test the actual surfaces present, not a generic baseline.

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

Generic slip testing misses the zones that actually generate incidents. Self-Storage Facilities sites have distinct high-risk zones that warrant independent testing.

Drive-up unit threshold

Customer vehicle drainage drips at unit thresholds create continuous wet-PTV exposure.

Loading lift floor

Repeated trolley wheel impact wears lift-floor surfaces unevenly.

External ramp gradient

Combination of slope and weather makes PTV management challenging.

Regulatory framework

Self-Storage Facilities · regulatory context.

Self-storage slip testing operates under HSE INDG225 and Workplace Regulations 1992 Reg 12, with the additional context that customers are members of the public — Public Liability claims expectations are higher than at staff-only sites. UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 reports support both HSE compliance and PL-insurer documentation.
