Survey I.R.O EC Directive on Travel Trade Act - Safety Audit

If you work with overseas tour brokers or travel booking agents, specifically those based in European Community countries, you are most likely required to complete and submit an annual Health and Safety Audit or questionnaire to ensure that your company complies with the EC Directive on Package Travel and Holiday Tours Act (90/314/EEC). We are seeing many requests for such compliance issues by international booking agents.

As the custodian of your insurance records, SATIB also provide the SATIB24 Crisis Call facility as a value-added service, which is why we are frequently asked to assist clients in completing or providing substantiation to support these annual audits.

However, the onus still lies with our clients to tick the boxes that are unrelated to insurance and to submit the audit report. This process takes time, which could be better utilized in running your businesses.

For SATIB to provide a truly unique service in this regard, it would be necessary for us to do a physical inspection of our clients property, to make recommendations on any areas that need to be addressed and then most importantly, to get buy-in and approval from the European based agents as to the credibility of SATIB's safety audit and its compliance with the EC Directive.

Should you believe that such a service would be beneficial to your company, please reply to this email.

At this stage we want to gauge the response from our clients to establish that health and safety issue are important and are in fact becoming an issue that needs to be addressed in the interests of international agreements.
