Gowland Safety Management Ltd is a safety consultancy specializing in the Licensed Retail Sector, incorporating Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants.

We know that health and safety doesn’t always take priority when business planning, however there are now so many requirements you need to meet that it is hard to keep up to date – be it fire risk assessments, health and safety or food safety policies, getting it wrong can be costly. With years of experience in safety management, GSM Ltd can help you to avoid these pitfalls.

We work with your company to ensure you have the 'foundations' correct - policies and other paperwork that sets out what you do to ensure fire safety, health and safety and food safety is properly managed.

We help you train the team in how these policies work for your company - be it food safety matters such as HACCP controls such as temperature checks or microbiological matters, or health and safety requirements such as risk assessing. This training may be in the form of courses delivered by our qualified trainers, through 'in house' courses delivered by your management, or through workbooks completed by the team.

We monitor your standards, and provide you with an action plan to help you maintain and improve your safety standards, as well as 'benchmarking' you against industry standards.

Building a relationship with you is an important part of our approach - becoming familiar with how your business works, what your aims and objectives are and helping you to remain safe and compliant, reducing the risk of your guests or team having an accident, of being prosocuted or having a personal injury claim.

Standards are also becoming much more visable to your customers, with the 'Scores on the Doors' scheme, which may already be publicising your standards, and will become an issue your customers will become more aware of. You may also be required at some point to display your 'score' within your premises.
