Posted By Frank Hallett Hi Jonathon Could you please be a little more precise about which group you question refers to? Are you asking about the Travel Co employees or the clients? For an employer based in the UK that employs people based in the UK as employees, H&S legislation generally applies wherever they are sent. The current application of the UK H&S legislation is not so clear where the employee is not normally resident in the UK; although an EU citizen should expect a similar standard throughout the EU. For the clients, UK H&S legislation will normally not apply but Civil & Contract Law coupled with whatever the national standard for this type of accommodation will. Hope that this a start for you.

Posted By Stuart Nagle Jonathon. Some time ago I recall watching a programme on theTV about a holiday company (not hi di hi) where they had a person (can say I recall it being a Health & safety person) that went to Hotels they were contracting with to inspect the facilities, including covering the safety and hygene ect of those facilities. I would suspect that most good holiday companies do this as a matter of course but have no evidence to back this up. Perhaps you might get better information by contacting some holiday companies direct to discuss this with their H&S Officers/Managers... Stuart
