Leisure & Hospitality

Make safety part of the guest experience. High-footfall venues and transient workforces need clear, workable controls. We help you meet duties, protect guests and staff and keep venues operating smoothly.

How We Help

Leisure and hospitality venues can be public facing and fast paced, with risks that vary by activity, occupancy and season. We help you keep people safe and operations running smoothly with practical controls, clear procedures and training. Whether you manage a boutique hotel or a national sporting centre, we adapt to your risk profile, occupancy patterns and staffing model.

Typical risk areas we help you manage:

  • Health and safety management: Policies, risk assessments and safe systems of work that staff can apply day to day.
  • Fire safety: Practical reviews across front-of-house, back-of-house and event spaces, with clear, prioritised actions.
  • Security and counter-terrorism planning: Martyn’s Law awareness training and proportionate security risk assessments for venues with 200 capacity and above.
  • Pool safety management: Compliance with HSG 179 covering pools, gyms, spas, saunas, steam rooms and hydrotherapy facilities, supported by full Pool Safety Operating Procedures (PSOPs) including Normal Operating Procedures (NOP) and Emergency Action Plans (EAP), plus practical templates.
  • Food safety and hygiene: HACCP planning, food-handling controls and kitchen compliance checks.
  • Construction and refurbishment safety: CDM 2015 competence reviews and coordination for safe fit-outs, refurbishments and maintenance works.
  • Facilities and maintenance compliance: Support for planning and delivering maintenance, upgrades and new spaces safely and efficiently.
  • Training and awareness: Accredited and bespoke courses for managers and frontline teams, delivered on-site, virtually or through eLearning.
  • Specialist risk management: DSEAR reviews for fuel, gas and hazardous environments, ensuring proportionate controls are in place.
