Fire Risk Assessments for Campsites and Caravan Parks
The Midlands are home to some of the UK’s most beautiful camping and caravan destinations. Whether it’s family-friendly holiday parks, small independent campsites, glamping sites, or seasonal caravan sites, every location has a duty to protect visitors and staff from the risk of fire.
At JCH Safety, we specialise in providing independent, accredited fire risk assessments designed to help campsite operators meet their legal responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and related legislation.
Why Campsites Need Fire Risk Assessments
- Campsites and caravan parks present unique fire safety challenges, including:
- Use of gas stoves, BBQs, and open flames.
- Temporary and mobile accommodation such as tents, caravans and motorhomes.
- Fire spread risk in open grassland, woodland or areas with limited fire breaks.
- Fuel and electrical hook-up points.
- Waste disposal and storage areas.
- Seasonal staff, volunteers, and varying occupancy numbers.
- Without a robust fire risk assessment in place, site owners risk not only non-compliance with the law but also significant safety concerns for their guests.
What Our Fire Risk Assessments Cover
When JCH Safety carries out a campsite fire risk assessment, we look at:
- Layout and spacing of pitches, caravans and tents.
- Fire detection and alarm arrangements.
- Access for emergency vehicles and escape routes for guests.
- Provision and suitability of fire extinguishers and fire points.
- Gas, electrical, and cooking safety management.
- Arrangements for staff and guest training, including fire action notices.
- Consideration of people with disabilities and vulnerable groups.
- Fire safety arrangements for associated buildings, such as shower blocks, reception areas, shops or clubhouses.
Our reports are detailed, practical, and written in clear, easy-to-understand language. We provide not just compliance checks but actionable advice on how to improve safety across your site.
