Health & Safety for holiday lets in Norfolk and Suffolk

Foley and Baugh - The Health & Safety People

Holiday let owners have a duty of care to their guests. Foley and Baugh offer training & consultancy for holiday let health and safety in Norfolk and Suffolk.

A thorough risk assessment is the foundation of ensuring your holiday let meets health and safety standards. Key areas to consider include installing handrails on stairs and safety railings on balconies; removing sharp objects or hazards that could cause injuries; fitting non-slip tiles in bathrooms, kitchens, and near swimming pools; identifying trip hazards, hidden steps, or low ceilings and adding warning signs; ensuring pathways and escape routes are well-lit and free from obstructions; installing window restrictors to prevent accidents; the list goes on. And providing a guest information file with essential safety details, including emergency contacts, is another crucial step. Great Yarmouth based holiday let health and safety experts working throughout East Anglia, we’re here to take the stress and uncertainty away and to help you ensure you’re compliant.

Fire safety is a top priority, too, especially as guests may be unfamiliar with your property. A fire risk assessment is legally required for holiday lets in England, Wales and Scotland. After identifying risks, you need to implement measures such as installing and maintaining smoke alarms; creating a fire action plan and clearly displaying it; equipping each floor with a multi-purpose fire extinguisher and providing a fire blanket in the kitchen; and using fire-safe furniture and furnishings that meet regulatory standards.

If your property has gas appliances, ensure they’re properly installed, regularly maintained, and tested by qualified professionals. Carbon monoxide alarms are mandatory in rooms with combustion appliances. Similarly, electrical devices like kettles and toasters should undergo annual portable appliance testing (PAT). For properties using oil heating, adhere to regulations on equipment servicing and oil storage.

Extras like hot tubs or swimming pools can enhance a guest’s experience but require strict safety measures to prevent injuries and infections, such as legionella. Regular maintenance is essential to meet relevant health and safety standards.

Accidents can happen despite your best efforts. Be prepared with an emergency action plan and clear guest instructions for handling issues like fires, power outages or water leaks. We provide professional training & consultancy services for holiday let health and safety in Norfolk and Suffolk. Let us advise and guide you.

By putting health and safety first, you protect your guests and your business, ensuring your holiday let becomes a trusted choice for visitors.

Face Fit Testing

Foley and Baugh offer a full face fit testing service to businesses and individuals through East Anglia from our head office in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Face fit testing is critical process for assessing the seal of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) like face masks and respirators to a users face.

Face fit testing checks for gaps between a RPE and the user's face to ensure effective filtration of airborne contaminants. Through simulated exercises, any gaps in the seal are identified, enabling adjustments or recommending alternative respiratory protective equipment to maximise user protection. Repeat testing is a must for maintaining safety standards and protecting workers in hazardous environments across all industries.
