Health and Safety

‘SAFETY FIRST’

The South Essex Gymnastics Club recognises the duties it has under Health and Safety regulations to ensure the safety, health and well being of gymnasts, coaches and volunteers when they are involved in club activities.

Everyone involved with the South Essex Gymnastics Club recognises there are inherent risks in the sport of gymnastics due to the complex nature of the activities and although it is impossible to eliminate all risks we aim to minimise them as far as possible.

Our strategy for doing this is by:

• making safety our no. 1 priority

• identifying the potential hazards and eliminating, reducing or isolating them

• making coaches and participants aware of identified risks

• adhering to recognised safe coaching practices and techniques

• being careful and vigilant in our approach at all times
