/ Newcastle overview

Slip risk in Newcastle.

Newcastle is home to 300,000 (1.6m metro) people and the urban core covers Gosforth, Jesmond, Heaton, Gateshead, Tynemouth alongside the wider Tyne & Wear catchment. The local slip-risk profile is shaped by a dense university and hospitality estate either side of the Tyne — and that means the wet-pendulum test (with the appropriate slider for footwear or barefoot conditions) is almost always the right reference method.

The HSE region of competence for Newcastle is North East, and any RIDDOR-reportable slip incident in your business will be assessed against that office's caseload. Our reports are written so they sit cleanly inside an HSE investigation file or an insurer's claim pack.
