Health and Safety Accommodation Auditing

The Health and safety of tourism accommodation is an important factor that Members need to consider for the holidays that they offer. To help you with this important process, ABTA in collaboration with IGI are pleased to offer this four-day training course on health and safety tourism accommodation auditing.

The course provides a platform for Members to be introduced to the ABTA health and safety audit paperwork (Health & Safety Officers & Supplier Safety Information Documents), gain an understaning of the meaning of the audit questions, the auditing process and how the document aligns with the ABTA Tourism Accommodation Health and Safety Technical Guide.

The course will cover H&S auditing attributes in tourism accommodation safety such as key areas of risk, including fire safety, pool safety, food safety, legionnaires disease, general safety including balconies, children’s safety, beach facilities, fuel and energy, security and auditing.
Delegates will learn the principles of risk assessment and how to effectively manage defects identified as part of the auditing process, taking into consideration compensatory features and other safety attributes. 

The training will be delivered by Health and Safety expert Ian Greaves. 

Within one month of the training, delegates will be required to complete and submit an assignment for marking, to IGI. Based on the training and the results of the assignment, IGI will determine whether a person is competent to complete the audit paperwork.
 

• Refine your ability to competently complete auditing information documents
