Used by holiday park owners, caravan site operators and glamping businesses across the UK
🔥 Operating static caravans or lodges? Fire safety is the number one priority — the assessment will include fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, evacuation routes, fire extinguisher provision and annual inspection schedules required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Legal requirements for caravan parks and holiday sites
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require all employers and self-employed persons to carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment. Regulation 3 applies to caravan park operators who employ staff or allow members of the public onto their premises. Annual reviews are required, and the assessment must be written down if you employ five or more people.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a duty on the responsible person (site owner or operator) to carry out a fire risk assessment for all premises, including static caravans, lodges, clubhouses and entertainment venues. Article 9 requires a written fire risk assessment covering means of escape, fire detection and warning systems, firefighting equipment and emergency procedures. Static caravans are particularly high-risk due to their construction materials and confined escape routes.
Where you operate a swimming pool, the Health and Safety at Swimming Pools guidance (HSG179) sets out the industry standard for pool safety management, including supervision, water quality testing, emergency action plans and lifeguard training. While not law, HSG179 represents best practice and failure to follow it is strong evidence of negligence in the event of an incident.
Play areas and equipment must comply with BS EN 1176 (playground equipment standards) and BS EN 1177 (impact-absorbing surfacing). The HSE expects annual inspections by a competent person and written records of maintenance. Where you employ staff, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires you to provide a safe working environment, including safe systems of work for cleaning, maintenance, lifeguarding and guest management.
