BrightSafe alternative: BrightSafe vs Featherstone Safety Hub
If you are comparing BrightSafe with Featherstone Safety Hub, both are health and safety software products built for UK businesses, so it is worth understanding the differences in model, scope and pricing. Featherstone Safety Hub is standalone, transparently priced health and safety software for UK SMEs, from £29 per month with a 14-day free trial and no long-term contract.
What is BrightSafe?
BrightSafe is a health and safety software product developed by Peninsula, one of the UK's largest HR and employment law advisory providers. It helps businesses manage health and safety documentation including policies, risk assessments and training records, and is typically offered as part of Peninsula's broader HR and employment law service.
Because BrightSafe is closely tied to Peninsula's advisory service, many businesses access it as part of a multi-year service agreement rather than as a standalone software subscription, which affects how pricing, contracts and support are structured.
What is Featherstone Safety Hub?
Featherstone Safety Hub is dedicated, standalone health and safety software for UK SMEs, built by NEBOSH-qualified practitioners. The professional structure is built into the platform so owners and managers can manage their own compliance without an adviser on call. It covers risk assessments, COSHH, the training matrix, an incident register with RIDDOR screening, fire checks, contractor management, evidence and monthly reviews, with transparent pricing and a free trial.
Key differences to consider
When comparing the two, look at:
- Independence: BrightSafe is typically accessed through Peninsula. Featherstone Safety Hub is fully standalone with no advisory service attached.
- Pricing transparency: Featherstone Safety Hub publishes its prices: £29/mo Starter, £79/mo Professional. BrightSafe pricing depends on your Peninsula arrangement.
- Contract terms: Featherstone Safety Hub is monthly, cancel any time. Advisory-led services typically run on multi-year agreements.
- RIDDOR screening: Built-in RIDDOR screening in the incident register, mapped to UK law by NEBOSH practitioners.
- Free trial: 14-day free trial, no payment details required upfront.
Which suits your business?
BrightSafe, within Peninsula, suits businesses that want HR, employment law and health and safety supported by advisers on a service agreement. Featherstone Safety Hub suits SMEs that want to manage their own health and safety in clear, modern software at a transparent price, with the freedom to cancel any time.
If you are currently with Peninsula and primarily using BrightSafe for the software, you may find Featherstone Safety Hub offers the same core functionality at a published price without the advisory service overhead.
