The Value of Safety

Safety is the priority but defensibility is an obligation.

Clubs don’t fail on safety because they don’t care, they fail because they can’t prove what was done, who was trained or what happened afterwards.

And when something goes wrong – a member injury, a kitchen incident, a fire hazard – the costs aren’t just operational, they’re financial, legal, reputational and personal.

Obbi helps you manage that risk by creating visibility, consistency and proof. The kind of proof that holds up in front of a board, an auditor and an insurer.

The Real Cost of “Almost Compliant”

Clubs that look compliant on the surface often fall short under scrutiny:

Safety checklists on paper – missing, backfilled, or incomplete
Policies emailed out but no proof they were seen or understood
Incidents recorded but with no training trail or follow-up
Inductions done verbally with no documentation
Training assumed but untracked

And when one of those gaps gets exposed, the costs escalate quickly.

£15k / $20k + per claim

The average settlement from a slip, trip, or fall in the UK and USA paid by employers

£5m / $10m + per fine

Workplace accidents cost UK employers over £4 billion annually

Over 60% unreported

Over 60% of incidents in clubs are never formally recorded – increasing liability exposure

2.8m incidents globally

Annual incidents in the private sector with 2–3 reportable injuries per 100 club staff

The Financial Risks of Weak Oversight

If a staff member or guest is injured, can you show your training records, safety checks, and policy acknowledgments are all timestamped and current?

Insurance Premiums – Many clubs pay more year-on-year because they can’t provide evidence of a structured risk management system.
Reputation Damage – A single high-profile incident, especially one that “should have been prevented”, can damage member trust, staff confidence and board credibility.
Operational Disruption – Investigations, claims, and audit prep take time and energy away from running the club, often at the worst moment.
