2. Hotel Specific Due Diligence

Hotel Specific Due Diligence

Hotel rooms pose several risks different to our pubs & restaurants. There are separate Hotel Specific Period Business Checks. This is found in the Period Checks on the Blue Sky system. Checks are needed for the following: Legionella This is a bacteria that grows in water which causes respiratory illness which can be fatal to the old and young. We need to check water is the right temperature to prevent growth. Several rooms need to be checked each period. We also need to check shower heads are being cleaned and sanitized on a monthly frequency. Fire checks There are no specific hotel fire checks for alarm call points and fire exits being clear. You need to check all the extra fire doors (every hotel room door) and call points are logged on the core information sheet (should be in the office), and tested in turn with the rest of the business.
