Croner BrightSafe Alternative
Croner BrightSafe alternative: standalone UK health and safety software
Croner is an HR, health and safety and employment law advisory provider closely connected to Peninsula, and like Peninsula, Croner's health and safety software offering includes access to BrightSafe as part of their service. If you are looking for a Croner BrightSafe alternative, 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 advisory tie-in.
Croner and BrightSafe
Croner is one of the UK's established HR and employment law advisory providers offering health and safety guidance and software tools including access to BrightSafe, typically on a multi-year service agreement with pricing quoted after consultation.
The combined Croner-BrightSafe offering provides advisers alongside software, which suits businesses that want to outsource responsibility. The question for many SMEs is whether they genuinely need the advisory layer, or primarily need solid health and safety software they can run themselves.
Featherstone Safety Hub: a standalone alternative
Featherstone Safety Hub is dedicated health and safety software built by NEBOSH-qualified practitioners with the professional structure built in: guided risk assessment and COSHH templates, a live training matrix with automatic expiry alerts, fire checks, an incident register with built-in RIDDOR screening, contractor management, document management and monthly safety reviews.
It is a complete health and safety management system an owner or manager can run without a safety adviser, at a flat published price with no long-term contract.
