Caravan Insurance

A year-long environmental health inspection of several caravan parks in Norfolk has raised concerns over health and safety on some sites.

North Norfolk district council may introduce new licensing conditions for the 170 parks under its watch after uncovering a number of problems, the Norfolk News reports.

During their investigation environmental health officers came across defective fire alarms and substandard fire fighting equipment as well as poor drainage, unsafe gas bottle storage and unprotected sewage tanks.

According to the Norfolk News the council's report said "the majority" of parks were working towards achieving "model standards".

However it added that many were in need of "some help and guidance", particularly in terms of physical health and safety and risk assessment.

Meanwhile a caravan park in Chichester has been fined £10,000 for breaches in health and safety after a staff member was run over by a dump truck with an electrical fault, the Argus reports.

Such issues highlight the importance of having adequate caravan insurance to protect against damage as a result of poor safety in caravan parks.
