Safety Advice For Travellers

If you live in a caravan or trailer, remember to follow basic fire safety precautions:

• Fit a smoke detector in your caravan

• Find out about firefighting arrangements on the site

• Keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children

• Take care in the kitchen and never leave cooking unattended

• Keep a torch handy for emergencies 

• If you smoke, use suitable ashtrays and never smoke in bed

• Before going to bed or leaving the caravan, turn off all appliances

• Keep the caravan ventilated and make sure you don't block any air vents 

• Get a registered Corgi gas fitter to fit and regularly service any gas appliances

• Fit smoke alarms in your home. Test them once a week, clean them once a month and change them once a year

• Buy a Carbon Monoxide alarm from a DIY store

• Check all gas fittings. Use arrester values on gas bottles and make sure your home is adequately ventilated
