For UK Garden Centres
Health and safety software for garden centres
Featherstone Safety Hub helps UK garden centres manage a varied set of risks in one organised system. Handle COSHH for pesticides, fertilisers and chemicals, manage manual handling of heavy stock and compost, run machinery and premises checks, train seasonal staff quickly, and log incidents, with everything ready for inspection.
Built by NEBOSH-qualified practitioners, from £29 per month, with a 14-day free trial and no long-term contract.
Risks that span indoors, outdoors and the public
Garden centres combine retail, horticulture, cafes and machinery, often with members of the public moving through the same spaces as deliveries and equipment. Add seasonal peaks and a fluctuating workforce, and keeping on top of health and safety with paperwork becomes difficult.
Featherstone Safety Hub brings risk assessments, COSHH, training and incidents into one place, so you can manage the whole operation consistently however busy the season gets.
- COSHH: manage pesticides, fertilisers, treatments and cleaning chemicals with a substance register.
- Manual handling: assess and train for heavy stock, compost, pots and deliveries.
- Machinery and premises: keep checks for equipment, vehicles and the site organised.
- Training matrix: induct and train seasonal staff fast, with refreshers tracked.
- Incident register: log accidents and near misses, including to the public, with RIDDOR screening.
Get seasonal staff up to speed quickly
Seasonal hiring is one of the biggest health and safety challenges for garden centres, because new and temporary workers are statistically more likely to be involved in an accident. A clear induction and training matrix means every new starter is brought up to speed consistently, and you can see at a glance who has been inducted and trained.
Simple, affordable and inspection-ready
Featherstone Safety Hub is transparently priced from £29 per month with no long-term contract, and is designed to be run by a manager rather than a safety specialist. It works offline and on mobile, so checks can be done out in the yard or glasshouse, and your records are always ready if an inspector visits. You can trial it free for 14 days.
