Information on asbestos and legionnaires disease will be on offer during the day

Sedgemoor District Council is to host an awareness day for caravan and holiday park owners at Brean Leisure Park.

The event, set to take place on March 2nd 2010, is being held to highlight significant health and safety issues and help managers stay on the right side of the law, the Somerset Guardian reported.

As well as information on asbestos and legionnaires disease, the day will be used to boost knowledge of risk assessments, as well as gas, fire and electricity safety.

Further options include swimming pool management, play area equipment safety, crime prevention and how to market your business.

It is a free event organised in partnership with Sedgemoor District Council, the Health and Safety Executive, South West Tourism and the Environmental Health Department.

Meanwhile, Saga has revealed that a third of caravan owners will use their mobile homes to house guests over Christmas, with 41 per cent using their units for winter holidays.
