Hotel Hazards & How To Prevent Them
As the owner or manager of a hotel, B&B, guest house or motel, you owe it to your hotel staff, clients and members of the public to provide them with a safe and secure environment. If accidents were to happen at your hotel establishment, you may be held liable, and have to pay out on hotel insurance claims if you aren’t covered for the insured event. Therefore hotel insurance, hotel motel insurance, guest house insurance or B&B insurance is of the utmost importance, as is preventing hazards that typically occur at hotels, such as these:
-
Manual Handling
50% of all hotel staff injuries are related to manual handling tasks, and involve musculoskeletal type injuries, such as trauma or pain to your back, knees, elbows, muscle tears and contusions (Crams, 2019). The nature of repetitive work in the hotel industry, such as moving kegs, making beds and carrying luggage, can lead to muscle strain directly or over a period of time.
-
Slips, Trips & Falls
People spill drinks. Water spills over the swimming pool. People drop things. Accidents happen – whether that’s in the kitchen, back-of-house or as cleaners mop the floors.
-
Hazardous Chemicals
Hazardous chemicals are regularly used in hotels, and include oven cleaners, grill cleaners and beer cleaners. They can cause nasty damage, especially if they get in an individual’s eyes.
-
Business Interruption
Having to close your hotel for any period of time is never good for business, especially when it means losses of substantial profits. Many things can cause this closure – damage to property; hindered access to the area – for example due to being within a crime scene; utility breakdown; leaks; loss of licence.

Case Study
Disaster averted for a hotel
A small hotel faced refunds running into the thousands after flooding substantially damaged their wedding venue. This left the hotel premises out of action for several weeks and meant that several planned weddings had to be cancelled or relocated. Fortunately, the hotel’s Flood Insurance covered the cost to repair the venue and the business interruption covered the cost of the lost business and helped to ensure that nobody was left out of pocket by the event.
A B&B’s worst nightmare
The owners of a small bed and breakfast feared the worst after multiple guests were taken down with food poisoning one morning. Things looked very bad after several of their former guests took legal action against them. Fortunately, even though the case did not find in their favour, they had Product Liability insurance, which covered the liability they had for the incident that had taken place. This covered the cost of the settlement following the conclusion of the action.

your business – get dedicated cover today.
Cover from risks
Everyday risks can also be associated with natural causes which could result in your business temporarily incapable of operating. In these types of situations, your staff could potentially hold you legally accountable which a court of law may also agree. In other situations, you could have suffered serious stock losses as well as a loss of income. At The Insurance Octopus, we cannot stop any of these unfortunate events happening, but we can help you find a business insurance policy that provides the right financial protection for your bed & breakfast establishment.
