Health & Safety Management POLICY

Introduction 

Chanonry Sailing Club is strongly committed to encouraging members to take part in sailing, but the health, well-being and safety of each individual is always our paramount concern. It is the intention of Chanonry Sailing Club that members and their guests or visitors to the Club should be able to enjoy the Club’s activities in reasonable safety while acknowledging that water sports, by their very nature, can be hazardous. We also acknowledge that we have to provide a reasonable duty of care to members of the general public who exercise their rights to access areas such as the harbour which are managed by the Club.

While health and safety policy is set by the Board, promoting health and safety is the responsibility of every member and it is up to the member to decide whether or not to take part in Club activities.

Our statement of general policy is: 

  • to provide adequate control of the health and safety risks arising from our activities;
  • to provide and maintain a safe Club environment and appropriate safety equipment;
  • to provide safety boats for organized Club sailing activities equipped and crewed as recommended by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA);
  • to offer training to those whose Club duties can affect health and safety;to take all reasonable measures to prevent accidents;to record, investigate and learn from any accidents or near misses that do occur;
  • to review this policy annually every March or immediately following a major incident.

All Club members have to:
  • Cooperate with responsible Club appointees on health and safety matters;
  • Not interfere with anything provided to safeguard their safety;
  • Take reasonable care of their own health and safety and that of others in their vicinity who may be affected by what they do or not do;
  • Report all health and safety concerns to the appropriate Club appointee or any Board member;
  • Correctly use all equipment provided by the Club.
