The Health and Safety Executive have launched a campaign where they will be offering advice to all caravan and camping parks in the South West to help lower the amount of accidents that occur during the holiday periods. The HSE have released several dates where they will be offering advice to site owners starting at the end of January. This campaign comes after figures show that 2009 saw a record number of Brits stay ashore during the summer and chose to camp out instead.
The half-day events will offer a wide variety of tips and advice, which include presentations, sessions on crime prevention, swimming pool management and marketing advice.
Head of operations for the HSE, Max Walker said: "The caravan, camping and holiday park sector is a very important part of the tourist industry in the South West and looks after thousands of visitors each year. Anyone working in this industry needs to keep health and safety issues at the forefront of their mind - especially when the summer season is at its peak.
"Accidents are bad news for individuals, businesses and reputations. No one can afford - either in monetary terms or simple human terms - to treat safety lightly. This is why we and our partners have put together this series of events which will give useful, practical and easily implemented advice to those who, hopefully, will find it of most use."
