Wyndham Achieves Five Star Health And Safety With Check Safety First
The prestigious Wyndham Grand, London Chelsea Harbour has implemented health and safety expert, Check Safety First's online E-Cristal health and safety risk management system to ensure the wellbeing of its guests.
The hotel will be using E-Cristal's full functionality to standardise, improve and support existing standards of health and safety in the hotel. The range of services provided will include general safety, swimming pool safety, Legionella control, fire safety, as well as the central food hygiene product. The Wyndham Grand, London Chelsea Harbour already works with a local food safety specialist, but this new implementation will provide the hotel with a more rounded overview of standards.
"We have spent considerable effort building up the reputation of the hotel to what it is today and I understand how quickly this can be tarnished by not having adequate health and safety processes in place," explains Xavier Montembault, executive assistant manager for food and beverages at The Wyndham Grand, London Chelsea Harbour. "The hotel already has impeccable standards, but the E-Cristal solution provides us with a way of double checking these and ensuring that our guests and staff are protected at all times during their stay."
"What particularly impressed me about the E-Cristal system is that it is managed entirely online and removes the need for excessive paper-based reporting. The system can also be monitored centrally at the Wyndham head office. This is especially important for us moving forward, as it means that we can roll this solution out internationally in all of our hotels ensuring a continuity of standards across the brand," adds Montembault.
Mark Harrington, CEO at Check Safety First, concludes: "The Wyndham, London Chelsea Harbour is a classic example of a high quality hotel whose reputation is vital for their ongoing commercial success. We are delighted to be associated with such an establishment."
Once the hotel has successfully demonstrated and maintained a high standard of health and safety it will be listed on the international consumer website www.checksafetyfirst.com.
