Wave goodbye to poorly written policies thanks to Peninsula's documentation service

Health & Safety law requires employers to provide certain documentation. Such as:

But, drafting a policy takes time - and enough training to know it's legally watertight. Without either, you could end up drafting non-compliant documentation. Meaning, you could fail to meet your legal obligations. Consequently, you could face legal and financial damages.

When you outsource your Health & Safety to Peninsula, we manage all your legal documentation. Our team of expert consultants will craft all the policies you need. We'll even help your workplace maintain robust safety procedures that protects everyone from harm, as well as ensuring your legal compliance.

So, whilst you spend time managing leisure activities, employees, and customers, we'll spend time managing your Health & Safety.

Dive into your risk assessment with Peninsula’s help

If an accident occurs in your leisure business, you're responsible. That's why it's vital you ensure every aspect of your company's Health & Safety is managed - including your obligation to perform a risk assessment.

A risk assessment helps you to identify safety hazards within your workplace. So you can consider how you can prevent them from causing harm. For example, safety hazards might include:

Asbestos within old buildings, such as a community hall.

Present hazardous substances; such as pool-dosing chemicals.

Unhealthy bacteria in water systems; such as legionella.

Faulty or old equipment; such as gym apparatus; as well as Risks to safety arising from work activities, such as water maintenance.

It might sound daunting - but with Peninsula's help, we can ensure your risk assessment covers all bases. We help you do your workplace risk assessment in person, at your gym or leisure centre, at a time that suits you.

After your visit, you’ll receive a personalised action plan - which advises what controls you need to protect people from any Health & Safety risks present. Not to mention, we'll even perform your fire safety assessments too.
