SECTOR-SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE

We understand your operation

Commercial kitchens, dining rooms, cellars and guest accommodation in one operation. Each carries its own compliance load, and the risk picture shifts from prep to service to close.

Kitchen fire and gas risk

Extraction canopies, deep fat fryers, gas hobs and hot surfaces sit next to combustible stock. Your fire risk assessment has to reflect a working kitchen, not an empty building.

Slips, burns and manual handling

Wet floors, keg deliveries, hot pans and heavy trays. The leading causes of injury in hospitality are practical problems that need practical controls on every shift.

High turnover and young workers

Agency cover, seasonal staff and employees under 18. Induction, task training and documented risk assessments for young workers have to happen before the first shift.

Public access and out-of-hours trade

Customers on site through late-night and weekend service. Fire evacuation, capacity, public liability and lone working at close all sit alongside your H&S duty.
