It’s important to make sure that the club meets and trains in a safe environment and that the facilities and equipment you use are ‘fit for purpose’ and appropriate for the age and ability of the user group. You can check this by carrying out a ‘risk assessment’ – to make sure that the facilities and equipment comply with your NGB standards.  This assessment will help you to:

• identify an unsafe condition;
• decide what corrective action is required;
• determine who is responsible for correcting it;
• ensure that it was corrected properly.
