Staff are routinely consulted on Health and Safety matters as they arise and are actively encouraged to raise any issues directly as needed with their manager.
Routine inspection and checks of all equipment for safety are undertaken. Staff must check all equipment before use and report any damage, danger or harm and make sure only designated persons can use the equipment. Action must be promptly taken to address any defects found. Electrics will be maintained.
Emergencies and incidents requiring first aid will immediately be reported to the relevant staff member of the venue being used.
