RISK ASSESSMENT

Collingtree Tennis Club will carry out a quarterly risk assessment of the club facilities to identify potential hazards. Additional Risk assessments will be carried out if any new issues arise.

We will consider the results of the Risk Assessment at a Committee meeting, and implement appropriate actions to ensure that we maintain a safe environment for our members.
