Touring Caravan Site and Guest-Owned Tourer Pitch Operations Toolbox Talk

Fully editable and shareable.

This toolbox talk provides holiday‑park and campsite staff with a concise, practical briefing on managing guest‑owned tourer pitches safely. It is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to tailor it to your site’s specific layout and procedures. It covers the core hazards of vehicle manoeuvring, gas‑line connections, fire‑break distances and emergency response procedures, linking each to the duties set out in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the fire‑performance requirements of BS EN 13501‑1.

Staff will learn how to plan vehicle routes, verify pitch spacing, maintain fire‑break barriers, inspect gas and electrical equipment, keep evacuation routes clear, use appropriate personal protective equipment and respond swiftly to spills or near‑misses. The talk also stresses the importance of guest briefings and ongoing monitoring throughout the stay.
