21/08/2018
At the first meeting of the Club attended each year members should be advised / reminded of the location of the Emergency Exits from the premises and of the Assembly Point should evacuation of the premises be required. The Treasurer who signs members in should take the attendance list to the Assembly Point in the event of an evacuation.
Club officials should be aware of the location of the Fire Fighting equipment in the premises and also the location of the First Aid equipment.

It is not the policy of the Club that officials shall use any emergency equipment, the prime responsibility of officials is the safety of members including themselves. Officials of the Club should only use such equipment if fully conversant with the operation and use of the equipment and it is safe to do so. It is the individuals own decision to use the equipment and is at their risk.
