Public Sector & Transport sites in Leeds face a particular slip-risk profile shaped by a financial-services core and a heavily reglazed retail estate. We provide UKAS ISO 17025 accredited pendulum slip testing across West Yorkshire, with reports written to forensic standard.
Leeds's public sector & transport estate concentrates around Trinity Leeds, the Headrow and the South Bank regeneration, with a wider catchment across Headingley, Roundhay, Bramley, Pudsey, Morley and the rest of West Yorkshire. The HSE region of competence is Yorkshire & Humber.
Within this sector, the typical risk vectors are weather-driven contamination at entrances, footwear-borne dirt, wear in high-volume thoroughfares. Stations and transport interchanges see slip-incident rates many times the national average due to weather contamination at entrances. The duty-holder is regulated by the HSE, the ORR (Office of Rail & Road), the CAA and individual local-authority H&S teams, and transport operators owe a non-delegable duty under the Occupiers' Liability Acts 1957 and 1984 — and slip claims involving stations are routinely litigated.
Typical surfaces we test in Leeds public sector & transport sites include natural stone, granite paving, terrazzo, polished concrete, anti-slip rubber and metal nosings. Where the surface is wet, contaminated, or in a barefoot zone, the appropriate slider and contamination protocol is selected at the point of test.
Testing is in accordance with BS EN 16165:2021 Annex C and the UKSRG 2022 Guidelines. Pendulum measurements are taken in multiple directions per location, both wet and dry where contamination is foreseeable, and reported as PTV with UKSRG slip-risk classification (low / moderate / high).
For public sector & transport specifically: framework-suitable, OJEU-compliant testing across multi-site portfolios with consistent methodology.
Reports are PDF-delivered within 24 hours of the site visit. They include the full PTV dataset, photography, calibration cert references, UKSRG classification, methodology narrative, and remediation recommendations where any test point falls below the relevant slip-risk threshold.

Yes. Our pendulum slip testing is performed under our UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation, using calibrated equipment with traceable certification. UKAS accreditation is held by a minority of UK slip-testing providers and is the most defensible credential for an evidential report.
You receive a clear narrative of why it failed, which test points are problematic, and a tiered set of remediation options — operational controls, surface treatment, or replacement. We are independent of treatment manufacturers, so the advice is free of conflict.
Yes. Reports are formatted to meet the evidential standards expected by UK insurers, the HSE region Yorkshire & Humber office, and the courts. Calibration certificates and chain-of-custody documentation are included as standard.
Yes. Our Leeds field cover extends across Headingley, Roundhay, Bramley, Pudsey, Morley and the wider West Yorkshire at no additional travel cost. Single fixed-fee quote, inclusive of travel.
