Water Safety Advice For Your Business

Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) is proud to be the UK and Ireland's industry leader in water-related safety qualifications and training for aquatic, open water, and beach operators and be recognised worldwide as an expert in lifeguarding and water safety.

We work with an impressive list of national leisure operators and partners - from hotels, spas, and competition pools to leisure centres, aqua parks and open water venues and have supported many businesses and landowners in meeting their responsibilities to water safety. 

Our trusted brand gives peace of mind to businesses and the millions of people who access the facilities and sites we support.

Qualifications and Awards

Water safety training is essential for any business with employees working on, in, or near water. Every year, we certify more than 60,000 regulated qualifications and non-regulated vocational training awards, and more lifeguards qualify with RLSS UK than any other awarding body! 

Training 

We support many large organisations and businesses with more bespoke training needs - including the cruise and holiday industries. We can adapt 'off the shelf' RLSS UK qualifications and awards to provide a solution or create new, bespoke training products or packages tailored to your business.

Consultancy

We are experts at delivering clear and practical consultancy support to any business, organisation or individual with liabilities to visitors and staff around water. Our consultancy work is varied, and we cover a wide range of locations across the UK. For example, in 2023, we completed projects including water safety risk assessments for indoor pools and open water venues, local authorities and private landowners who own/manage bodies of water, as well as water safety audits on the coast. 

RLSS UK Shop

We are also at the forefront of supporting companies in manufacturing and distributing innovative and compliant lifesaving equipment, and the RLSS UK Shop offers official uniforms and training, first aid, and safety equipment for the leisure industry and beyond.

Our trusted brand gives peace of mind to businesses and the millions of customers who access the facilities we support.

Following our full risk assessment of open water spaces in the Bradford area, carried out on behalf of Bradford Council, today we submit our final report, making recommendations for physical and campaign water safety measures.

Last month at Westminster Hall, as part of a debate on e-petition 575967 relating to throwline stations around open bodies of water, the government was asked to make risk assessments of all bodies of water (natural and man-made) mandatory, as well as water safety equipment and warning signage.

We are immensely proud to have received mention in the associated research briefing. As a Charity, our primary interest lies in water safety and making water safer environments with any profits from paid-for services, including our water safety consultancy, funding our ongoing campaign work to educate more people on how to enjoy water safely.
