Who we test for

Hotels, inns and the visitor traffic of the Galloway forest, the dark-sky country and the Solway coast — wet entrances, lobbies and kitchens busy through the season.

The dairy farms, creameries and the food producers of the food town and beyond — production floors, dairies and wash-down areas where water and grip are at odds.

Stranraer, Cairnryan and the Solway harbours — terminals, quaysides and shoreside buildings out in the weather.

Hospitals, surgeries and care homes across the region, where the Care Inspectorate expects slip risk assessed and managed.

Dumfries and the market towns’ shops, retail parks, leisure centres and pools — entrances and food courts where the weather follows everyone in.

The artists’ town galleries, the book town, the castles and the visitor centres — entrances, paths and worn stone underfoot.

The forestry operations, the wind farms and the region’s factories and process plants — yards, walkways and production floors in all weathers.

Schools, campuses, civic buildings and the transport hubs — halls, corridors and concourses in constant use.
