🔥 Working on LPG gas appliances or gas tightness testing? Mention it — we'll include the specific controls required under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, including ventilation, leak detection and safe isolation procedures.
Legal requirements for mobile caravan technicians
Under Regulation 3(1) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every self-employed person and employer must carry out a suitable and sufficient assessment of risks to themselves, their employees and others — including customers and third parties — who may be affected by their work. Mobile caravan servicing takes place on private property away from a fixed workshop, so this duty applies at every job site, not just a single premises.
Any work on LPG gas appliances, cylinders or fixed installations falls under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, which require gas work to be carried out only by competent, Gas Safe registered persons, with tightness testing and appliance checks recorded appropriately. Roof access for sealant inspection, roof light replacement or aerial fitting is covered by the Work at Height Regulations 2005, which require employers and self-employed workers to avoid work at height where possible, and where it cannot be avoided, to use the right equipment and take suitable precautions against falls.
The HSE reports that falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities in Great Britain each year, and working on a curved, often wet or frosty caravan roof presents a materially higher risk than a flat commercial roof. A documented risk assessment demonstrates that these hazards have been properly considered and controlled — something increasingly requested by caravan park operators, storage sites and insurers before granting site access.

Frequently asked questions
Do mobile caravan technicians legally need a risk assessment?
Yes. Under Regulation 3(1) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every employer and self-employed person must assess the risks to themselves and others affected by their work. Mobile caravan servicing involves LPG gas systems, working at height and driveway or roadside work, so a written risk assessment is expected by insurers, letting agents and caravan park operators even if you work alone.
Does this cover LPG gas safety checks on caravans?
Yes. Describe your gas work (leak testing, appliance servicing, cylinder changeover) and the assessment will reference the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and the specific controls needed, including ventilation checks, tightness testing and gas detection where relevant. Only Gas Safe registered engineers should carry out LPG work covered by these regulations.
Am I covered for working on the caravan roof?
Yes. Mention that the job involves roof access (sealant checks, roof light replacement, aerial fitting) and the assessment will include working at height controls under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, such as stable ladder positioning, roof boards to spread weight and fall prevention measures suited to a curved caravan roof.
Does it address working on a customer's driveway or a caravan storage site?
Yes. Mobile servicing takes place on private driveways, storage compounds and roadside laybys, each with different hazards — traffic, uneven ground, restricted space, and third parties including children and pets. Describe the typical work location and the assessment will include site-specific controls.
Is towing and manoeuvring equipment covered?
Yes. If your work involves hitching, unhitching, or manoeuvring a caravan using a mover or by hand, mention this and the assessment will cover manual handling risks, trapped fingers, jockey wheel failure and safe towing hitch procedures relevant to mobile servicing visits.
Can it cover lone working as a sole trader?
Yes. Most mobile caravan technicians work alone at customer premises with no colleague nearby. Mention that you work solo and the assessment will include lone working controls such as check-in procedures, mobile phone contact and emergency arrangements.
How long does it take to generate?
Under 2 minutes. Describe your typical jobs — servicing, gas checks, damp reports, roof work, awning fitting — and Anyrisks produces a complete, regulation-referenced risk assessment instantly, ready to download as PDF and Word.
Will it be accepted by caravan park operators and letting agents?
Yes. Anyrisks produces a fully written, professionally formatted risk assessment referencing the relevant UK regulations, in the format expected by caravan park site owners, letting agents and insurers who require evidence of a documented risk assessment before granting site access.
