Why Choose the Hsra
Stay Compliant With UK Health & Safety Laws
If you are responsible for a commercial property, workplace or business in Southampton, you have a legal duty to identify and manage health and safety risks within your premises.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires employers across the UK to carry out suitable and sufficient risk assessments. In addition, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require businesses with five or more employees to record significant findings and implement appropriate control measures. These legal duties apply across all industries, helping to ensure workplace risks are properly identified and managed.
We support businesses throughout Southampton and the wider Hampshire area, providing clear, professional reports with practical recommendations that help improve workplace safety and maintain legal compliance.

Our approach is straightforward and practical. We clearly identify workplace risks, explain our findings in plain English and provide realistic recommendations to help improve safety, reduce risk and maintain compliance.
