Statement of Intent

This is the health and safety policy statement of Apex Up CIC, we as an organisation are committed to safeguarding the health and safety of all individuals who deliver or take part in our sport sessions by ensuring the standards set out below are adhered to at all times:

The coaches and volunteers will comply with appropriate health and safety requirements. This will be done in accordance with the requirements as stated in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

All coaches will undertake a thorough health and safety risk assessment prior to a session commencing, including locating the nearest first aid box and fire alarm. This is to ensure sessions are delivered in a safe environment.

All coaches must ensure that any injuries or accidents that occur during the session are reported to a senior member of staff. Parents/carers must also be made aware.

The coaches will ensure that all coaches are provided with safe equipment that enables sessions to be delivered safely and at no risk to them or the participants if appropriate.

All coaches have a responsibility to ensure only safe equipment is used in a session. All coaches must check equipment prior to the session commencing and report any unsuitable equipment to the relevant person within the setting.

Coaches and volunteers must ensure that all equipment is stored away safely at the end of the session ready for the next session to commence.

Apex Up CIC is committed to providing training to ensure that participants are able to operate any equipment safely. In addition, all appropriate staff are required to hold an up-to-date safeguarding certificate. The management committee will ensure that this policy is reviewed annually.
