Health and Safety in Hospitality
The hospitality industry is one of the largest industries in the United Kingdom, employing around 8% of the national workforce and contributing £60 – £70 billion to the UK economy every year.
However, around 1-in-30 workplace injuries occur in this sector, which is in part due to the vast nature of establishment types and the risks that they present – from slips & trips to kitchen fires.
Because each hospitality establishment faces unique health & safety challenges, compliance specialists are required in order to provide solutions that are perfectly suited to each individual business.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Alongside enforcing the law, the HSE provides additional resources for hospitality establishments to improve overall safety in their premises: https://www.hse.gov.uk/catering/index.htm
