Expert support for the motor industry
From dealing with staff conduct issues to removing workplace hazards, we’re here to help keep your business risk free.
It’s why garages, car dealerships, and vehicle recovery businesses all over the UK trust Peninsula for HR and health & safety support.
Dealing with vehicles can be dangerous work…
That’s why motor vehicle repairs, sales, servicing and recovery sectors face serious scrutiny from Enforcing Authorities.
And as the legal responsibility for health & safety lies with the employer, it’s why you need to do all you can to protect your staff from harm. The good news is, you don’t have to do it alone.
From supporting your risk assessments to creating your health & safety policies, our team of motor industry experts are here to reduce your risk of claims, fees, fines, statutory notices, or prosecution. And most importantly, we help you keep your people safe.
That’s why hundreds of motor sector businesses across the UK already trust Peninsula to keep them safe and successful. Find out how we can do the same for you.
Peninsula’s health and safety support has been hugely beneficial to our business. Our annual review is conducted seamlessly, with an understanding of our environment and needs.
Their software enables us to reach a host of valuable resources and tools, from an online library to creating our own bespoke documents. Automated reminders are easily delegated so no task is forgotten. A worthwhile investment that I’d absolutely recommend.
