General Heath and Safety
General Heath and Safety
The Centre has a comprehensive Health and Safety Policy which assures the safety and well-being of all persons within the Centre environment as well as identifying managerial responsibilities and attributing specific responsibilities to appropriate members of staff. Instructors are responsible for the safety of students and visiting teachers within their care during activity time, and also for specific stores of equipment. Plas Pencelli maintains an up to date record of all accidents, and this helps in the process of continually updating risk assessments. The accident record book is available for inspection.
Each group that visits the Centre is briefed on fire evacuation procedures and a fire drill is carried out. Fire alarm checking is recorded. Parental consent forms are sent to schools prior to the visit. These indicate any medical or dietary requirements which may be relevant, swimming ability, past experience and emergency contact details. These should be returned to the Centre at least two weeks before the course commences so that any necessary preparations can be made
