Attractions
As a leisure attraction operator, ensuring the safety of your guests and staff is paramount. LEAPS offers a comprehensive safety certification program that not only helps you meet legal responsibilities but also enhances your operational standards
Benefits
Compliance with Legal Responsibilities
We support all operators in complying with their legal obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. We achieve this by applying the safety system for attractions published by the Health and Safety Executive. As the operator, you are the legal duty holder, and this responsibility cannot be delegated. Our comprehensive professional scheme validates and certifies your operations, providing strong evidence that you are meeting legal requirements. The duty holder has specific responsibilities, such as those outlined in the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, which mandates the use of competent persons to inspect your equipment. By using LEAPS, you ensure that all inspectors are qualified, as they undergo a rigorous process of registration, interview, auditing, and monitoring.
Enhanced Safety Standards
Achieving LEAPS certification signifies that your attraction adheres to the highest safety standards. This not only protects your guests and staff but also enhances your reputation as a safe and reliable operator. The certification process involves rigorous inspections and assessments, ensuring that every aspect of your attraction is of the highest quality.
Access to Guidance and Support
You will gain access to a wealth of knowledge and expertise from a team committed to staying current with the latest developments in safety standards and regulations. The LEAPS team actively contributes to writing standards and guidance across the leisure sector and is dedicated to helping you maintain superior safety standards and stay ahead of industry changes.
