/ Southampton overview

Slip risk in Southampton.

Southampton is home to 260,000 people and the urban core covers Bitterne, Portswood, Shirley, Woolston, Bassett alongside the wider Hampshire catchment. The local slip-risk profile is shaped by a major cruise port with high seasonal pedestrian volume and salt-air contamination — 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 Southampton is South 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.
