What our clients say
"Throughout the process Sam used his experience to provide realistic and sensible solutions to the actions identified – in some cases advising we do less to make the process easier for our employees. Because of the relationship we built and Sam’s approach to health and safety we asked him to continue working with us to help address some of the actions." - People Director.

Leisure Businesses FAQs
How do we maintain health and safety standards across multiple sites?
Set clear, consistent standards across all locations, supported by strong leadership, regular site reviews, and consistent training. Give sites flexibility in how they operate, while maintaining central control of expectations and compliance.
How often should leisure sites be reviewed?
We recommend completing a health and safety review or gap analysis at least annually. Regular reviews help identify trends, highlight areas for improvement, and ensure standards remain consistent across all sites.
How do we train leisure teams effectively?
Keep training practical, relevant and easy to understand. Short, interactive sessions focused on real-life tasks and risks are often more effective than lengthy classroom-based training. Regular checks help confirm understanding and reinforce learning.
How do we manage customer safety risks?
Start by identifying the key risks across your facilities, such as slips and trips, swimming pools, gym equipment, children's activities, and busy public areas. Implement clear controls, train staff to actively supervise and intervene where needed, maintain equipment, and ensure emergency procedures are regularly tested and practised.
Can health and safety systems stay simple as we grow?
Absolutely. Effective health and safety doesn't need to become more complicated as your business expands. Standardise the essentials, focus on the highest risks, keep documentation practical, and ensure training and expectations remain consistent across all locations.
