Press Release Body: Check Safety First has beaten over 60 competitors to be awarded a three year contract to standardise, manage and improve standards of health and safety across the entire Spanish Paradores chain of hotels.
The hotel chain will be using E-Cristal\'s full functionality to standardise, manage and improve standards of health and safety throughout all of its 90 lavish hotels, including restored castles, palaces, and monasteries. It will provide the state-owned chain with guidance and assistance on areas of general safety and improvements it must make to its properties, to protect the well being of guests.
Mark Harrington, CEO at Check Safety First, explains, \"The Spanish Paradores has some of the most luxurious properties ever seen and it\'s great to see the chain\'s commitment to the well being of its guests. We faced some stiff competition during the tendering process but, by working with us, we can provide the Spanish Paradores with guidelines and regular audits to ensure it meets and exceed today\'s standards for hygiene.\"
Using the E-Cristal system, the Spanish Paradores will have a template for health and safety processes and be able to centralise management in this area. Supported by monthly adhoc audits, the system will offer advice to ensure hotels are compliant with the Cristal Mark, Check Safety First\'s standard for health and safety developed in accordance with the World Health Organisation guidelines.
