• Dilution controls using dosing systems, test strips and manufacturer instructions
• Chemical segregation by incompatibility, ventilation needs and spill consequences
• Equipment pre-use checks for guards, cables, interlocks and emergency stops
• Lockout-tagout principles applied before maintenance and fault-clearing activities

Prepare fire and emergency arrangements suitable for hospitality premises and occupancy risks.

• Fire-risk assessment considers ignition sources, fuels, occupants and escape routes
• Means-of-escape inspections covering doors, signage, lighting and obstructions
• Fire extinguisher selection matched to cooking oils, electrical and ordinary combustibles
• Emergency roles for evacuation wardens, incident leaders and assembly coordinators
• Kitchen suppression systems, gas shut-offs and maintenance inspection records

Control guest-facing safety risks while maintaining appropriate service and accessibility arrangements.

• Guest-safety inspections cover entrances, stairs, furniture, lighting and wet areas
• Pool, spa and leisure-area controls for supervision, water quality and signage
• Security incident reporting for lost property, aggression, theft and suspicious behaviour
• Crowd-management plans for events, queues, capacity limits and emergency egress
• Accessibility checks identify barriers affecting guests with mobility or sensory needs
• Safeguarding escalation routes for vulnerable guests, children and concerning incidents

Investigate safety and food-related incidents to determine causes and prevent recurrence.
