General
Suitable sterilising chemicals are available from your caravan dealer, accessory shop, chemists or
home-brew shops. It is not, however, recommended to use bleach or sodium metabisulphite.
This guidance has been prepared with the kind co-operation and assistance of The Environmental
Health Department of The Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk.
5.2 FIRE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
▲
Your attention is drawn to the notice affixed in the caravan advising on fire prevention,
ventilation and what to do in case of fire. Ensure that the occupants are familiar with
escape routes, in case of a fire.
5.2.1 Children
▲
Do not leave children alone in the caravan in any circumstances. When in the caravan
ensure that children are supervised at all times. Keep potentially dangerous items out of
reach as at home, e.g. matches, medicines etc.
5.2.2 Fire Extinguishers
Provide one dry powder fire extinguisher of an approved type or complying with ISO 7165 of at least 1
kg capacity by the main exit door, and a fire blanket next to the cooker. Familiarise yourself with the
instructions on your fire extinguisher and the local fire precaution arrangements.
A fat pan fire should not have an extinguisher aimed at it but be smothered with a fire blanket. It is
advisable not to cook with a fat pan or deep fryer in the enclosed space of a caravan.
Extinguishers containing vaporising liquids should not be used by a person inside the caravan or from
outside whilst other persons are in the caravan. Dry powder extinguishers will deal with fat or electrical
fires and water type extinguishers should not be used for this type of fire.
5.2.3 In Case of Fire
i. Get everyone out of the caravan as quickly as possible using whichever exit is quickest including
windows. Do not stop to collect any personal items.
ii. Raise the alarm - Call the Fire Brigade (in the UK dial 999).
iii. Turn off gas container valve if safe to do so.
5.2.4 Ventilation
All ventilation complies with EN 721 and vents should not be obstructed in any manner as this could
lead to insufficient fresh air. In this case the confined atmosphere becomes depleted of oxygen which
leads to the formation of the highly poisonous gas ‘carbon monoxide’. Carbon Monoxide is odourless,
colourless and tasteless and will rapidly cause unconsciousness and death with little or no warning
prior to collapse. There is no danger when adequate ventilation is provided.
High level ventilation is via the roof lights. The mesh screens fitted should be kept free of obstructions
by dust, leaves, insects, etc. Inspect regularly and use a brush and soapy water as necessary.
