This text investigates the essential protocols and regulatory frameworks required to maintain health, safety, and security standards within the leisure and tourism industry. The authors, Steve Hanson and Tony Outhart, utilize their expertise in vocational education to structure a comprehensive guide tailored for students pursuing an Advanced GNVQ qualification. By aligning content directly with mandatory unit requirements, the book provides a systematic approach to risk management and operational safety in professional tourism environments.

The text serves as a specialized pedagogical tool, focusing on the structured requirements of the GNVQ curriculum rather than broad industry theory. Its utility is primarily defined by its alignment with vocational assessment criteria, making it a functional resource for students and instructors within that specific educational framework.
