Working with you to create

Quality, Environmental, Safety and Health (QESH) are important subjects in every sector and the leisure industry has its own unique risks and challenges. Depending on the exact nature of your business, you will have to consider some or all the following:

• Risk assessment
• Staff training
• Food management
• Fire and other emergency procedures, including drills
• Security
• Noise pollution and other disturbance of neighbours
• Data security and protection, including GDPR
• Adaptation for disabled and visually impaired clientele
• Employee, attendee and performer safety
• Brand image
• Waste management
• First aid and/or lifeguard provision
• Safety signage and signals
• Accident and incident reporting
• Use of pyrotechnics, lighting and sound equipment
• Water and wastewater management
• Manual handling and work at heights
• Data management and protection, including GDPR

These are just some of the areas that may require your attention and managing them all effectively can be a challenge.

A management system can help you meet such challenges, in that formalises your processes, organises your documentation and streamlines your operations. This makes it easier for you to manage your business efficiently and ensure you are complying with relevant legislation and regulations.

An Integrated Management System (IMS) brings together all your policies, procedures, processes and documentation into one place. This helps you manage each element more effectively, identify risk more easily and monitor compliance. It also makes it easier for your staff to use, as they only need to look in one place.

Effective management systems are a key component of achieving UKAS accredited ISO certifications such as ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO27001 and ISO45001. In customer-facing industries, being able to demonstrate these high standards can give you a competitive edge. You provide assurance to your customers and employees that you are delivering quality services and promoting a safe environment.
