Health & Safety Policy

Adopted – September 2022

The policy of TRESAcic is to provide and maintain safe and healthy conditions and environment for all our volunteers and users, plus any other people who are directly affected by our activities, such as members of the public at our events.

Responsibility

  1. Overall and final responsibility for health and safety at all events and activities organised by TRESAcic lies with the management committee. This responsibility will be delegated to a named volunteer for each event or activity. This volunteer will be responsible for ensuring that this policy is upheld.
  2. For our monthly meetings the responsible person is: The Chair (or the Director deputising for The Chair)
  3. For all other events the responsible person will be named in advance and their name will be noted on all relevant risk assessments. All volunteers involved will be made aware of who is responsible for health and safety.

General arrangements

  1. The main activity of TRESAcic is to organise community meetings and activities, and support the Totterdown community. A risk assessment will be carried out before every one off event. This will include assessing risk as it relates to all aspects of the event including: equipment; venue; volunteers; attendees. Appropriate precautions will be taken to minimise hazards at all events and activities.
  2. TRESAcic may also run regular events at the same venue or using the same equipment, such as our monthly committee meetings. In this case we will carry out a general risk assessment for the event/ activity/ equipment/ venue. All general risk assessments will be reviewed at least once a year.
  3. We will make sure all volunteers and staff at relevant events and activities are aware of the location of fire exits.
  4. All volunteers and Directors will be made aware of the precautions they need to take as noted on the relevant risk assessment.
  5. No Director or volunteer will run an event or activity on their own, and at least two Directors or volunteers should stay at an event until it is finished and the last attendees have left.
  6. TRESAcic will hold Public Liability Insurance.
