Accommodation Prevention

  • Electrical – Switch off all appliances when you are not using them. This is especially so at night, but also when out of view during the day. This includes items such as mobile phones, iPads/tablets and e-cigarettes. Always use an approved, product suppled power lead.
  • Heating – To prevent fire from starting, do not cover any appliances provided for heating in your accommodation. Take care when positioning mobile cots in your accommodation. Please keep them away from hot surfaces/heaters and do not position them where they might block an escape route. Never place beds (including fold-out beds) or bedding near a fire at any time. If you are staying in a caravan, please ensure the gas fire is turned off when you are using the fold-out bed. Please refer to ‘gas safety’ below for details on the operation of gas appliances.
  • Cooking – Ensure all cooking activities are correctly supervised and not left alone. Deep fat frying should be avoided.
  • Naked Flame – Use of candles or naked flame products are prohibited.
  • Storage – During your stay, do not store any items inside your water heater or boiler cupboard.
  • Fire doors – Where provided for your safety, do not hold or prop open self-closing fire doors. Care should also be taken with young children to prevent finger traps when they close.
  • Fire detection – Fire detectors are provided for early warning of a fire situation, do not interfere with the fire detector. If it appears not to be working correctly, please let us know.
