Risk Assessment

Stow Park Lawn Tennis Club will carry out an annual risk assessment of the club facilities to identify potential hazards.

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.

The risk assessment includes the following areas:

• Are the facilities and surrounding areas safe, free from obstacles and suitable for the activity?
• Is the equipment fit and sound for activity and suitable for age and ability?
• Are performers appropriately attired for the activity?
• Do volunteers, staff, coaches and members have access to information relating to health and safety?
• Is the members register up to date with medical information and contact details?
• Can emergency vehicles access the facilities?

Our Hazard Log was last updated in January 2019.  Key hazards assessed include:

1. Potential for slips and trips on the courts during play
2. Potential for slips and trips in and around the clubhouse
3. Potential for faulty electrical equipment
4. Potential for fire in clubhouse
5. Potential for injury from working at height during maintenance
6. Potential for contact with chemicals in clubhouse
