Vehicle Checks
In the UK vehicles have an annual safety check.
Electricity and Gas
In the UK, rental properties have checks for electricity and gas safety.
Ironically, if you are a landlord, you are compelled to check the safety of your tenant's property, but there is no check on your own home safety. So, if you travel and stay for free with a friend, they might not have a fire alarm, a fire extinguisher, or a carbon monoxide detector. Or the items might be there, with a dead battery, a removed battery, or a fire extinguisher out of date. Yes, there is an expiry date.
More children have been found locked in a house in the USA, not schooled, nor washed.
These events could be prevented or curtailed if every child had an annual online mental and physical examination.
I look forward to the day when every adult has an annual health and safety check, so their sight and hearing, teeth, and everything else get checked with a referral elsewhere if anything needs attention. Some insurances for work may require this.
Wishful Thinking
Every dwelling, at least those used for home schooling, should have an annual health and safety check (like a car's MOT).
Hotels
Meanwhile, some people travel with a hotel door alarm. Others take heir own carbon monoxide detector. You can even buy a fold up or concertina fire escape ladder.
If you decide to house swap, whatever the regulations, you might decide to install safety devices such as a fire blanket, carbon monoxide detector, fire extinguisher, or fire escape.
