Press Release Summary: www.CheckSafetyFirst.com prepares help guide to assist holidaymakers in identifying basic health and safety hazards in their private holiday accommodation.
Press Release Body: Due to the rise in low cost flights and do-it-yourself holiday websites, private villas have become a popular choice for holidaymakers. However, independent health and safety expert, www.CheckSafetyFirst.com, is warning travellers on the potential dangers of staying in rented accommodation, before their break turns into a holiday from hell.
To re-enforce this concern, www.CheckSafetyFirst.com has prepared a free, straightforward guide to help holidaymakers identify basic health and safety hazards in their private holiday accommodation - before it ruins their break.
The free download, Ten top tips to staying safe in private holiday homes and villas, is available at www.CheckSafetyFirst.com and contains details and advice for holidaymakers on some of the basic health and safety considerations that ANY villa or apartment should have in place to protect its guests. It covers accommodation quality, swimming pools, hygiene, fire and even hire car safety, all of which is designed to make people more conscious of standards and potential risks during their time away.
"Each year, millions of Brits suffer illness or injury on their summer holiday," explains the company's CEO, Mark Harrington. "For some, its just the combination of too much sun, sand and sangria, but for many holidaymakers the problem neednt have happened. It is vital for travellers to realise the role that poor health and safety standards in villas and apartments can play in ruining a family break, before it happens."
