Whistleblow for Safety
HolidayTravelWatch has for many years received reports from concerned holidaymakers or independent travellers as to the safety of their aircraft, ship or boat, train or road transport.
Such issues range from poor evacuation drill from ships, faulty seats on aircraft to coach drivers driving on motorways in driving rain without windscreen wipers.
HolidayTravelWatch is constantly surprised at the obvious failures and lack of foresight in these situations.
HolidayTravelWatch considers that whilst the raising of such issues would no doubt be unpopular, providers must recognise that the provision of safe transport can only lead to increased public confidence in that operator, and an increased financial benefit that flows from that confidence in their product.
It will also be obvious to holidaymakers and independent travellers which transport providers provide a high level of safety. For those who do not, we invite holidaymakers and independent travellers to recognise their own role they have to play, and to use our precedent letters to report obvious deficiencies in safety.
We simply ask in return that you provide us with copies of your letters and responses.
We can all make a difference; let us all ‘Whistleblow for Safety’!
