Calling all Touring Caravan Insurance Customers – lets ensure we have a safe summer!
While caravanners should always check they have full touring caravan insurance in place before heading off on their holidays, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has warned parents to educate their little ones to the dangers of construction sites before going away. The HSE is warning that schoolchildren may treat construction sites as playgrounds, therefore caravanners ought to make sure their kids are aware of the risks before heading out on their caravan holiday. Between the statistical years 2001 to 2002 and 2005 to 2006, 281 injuries to children were reported to the HSE during construction works, although precautions could have prevented them. Geoff Cox, head of operations for HSE Yorkshire and Humber, commented: “Let’s ensure that long summer evenings remain a time for fun and adventure for children and not a time of tragedy because children have, understandably, been drawn to construction sites as exciting places to play” Mr Cox added: “Construction sites can be a dangerous attraction for children. The dangers are numerous and varied, including scaffolding, reversing vehicles, electrical power supplies, ladders and falling equipment. Access to construction sites should be restricted and risks should be assessed by site managers to ensure that untoward incidents are prevented. The consequences could be awful and even life threatening.” If we are honest with ourselves most of the above is common sense but here at cover4caravans we are never surprised at the advice the HSE likes to release for us wonderful parents and business owners! One thing you can be assured of however is that if you contact us for a quotation for your Touring Caravan Insurance you will only receive relevant advice from one of our friendly Touring Caravan Insurance Experts.
