Peninsula BrightSafe Alternative
Peninsula BrightSafe alternative: standalone H&S software
If you are looking for a Peninsula BrightSafe alternative, you are likely comparing Peninsula's service model — which bundles BrightSafe health and safety software with HR and employment law advice — against standalone software you can run yourself. Featherstone Safety Hub is that alternative: transparent, standalone health and safety software for UK SMEs, from £29 per month with no advisory tie-in and no long-term contract.
The Peninsula BrightSafe model
Peninsula is one of the UK's largest providers of outsourced HR, employment law and health and safety support. BrightSafe is the health and safety software element of their offering, providing digital risk assessments, policies, training records and fire safety management. Accessing BrightSafe typically means engaging Peninsula as a service, which brings advisers on call but also a pricing and contract model built around an advisory provider.
For many businesses the question is whether they actually need the full Peninsula advisory service, or whether they need good health and safety software they can run themselves.
What Featherstone Safety Hub offers instead
Featherstone Safety Hub is dedicated health and safety software built by NEBOSH-qualified practitioners. The expertise is in the platform: a structured risk assessment and COSHH builder, a live training matrix with automatic expiry alerts, a fire checks module, an incident register with built-in RIDDOR screening, a contractor register, document management and monthly review tools.
You manage it yourself at a transparent, published price with no long-term contract and a 14-day free trial.
What matters when comparing
- Cost: Featherstone Safety Hub costs £29–£79/mo, published openly. Peninsula advisory services are quoted after consultation, typically on multi-year agreements.
- Contract length: Monthly, cancel any time vs. multi-year advisory tie-in.
- Self-managed vs. advised: If you mainly need the software rather than advisers, you may be paying for more than you use.
- RIDDOR and UK law: Built-in RIDDOR screening, mapped to UK regulations by NEBOSH practitioners.
- Free trial: 14-day free trial — try before you commit.
Is Peninsula BrightSafe right for you?
