			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please feel free to read this; it&#8217;s our way of having safety &#8220;out there&#8221; rather than something hidden. It could be boring, though.</p>
<p>We need a public risk assessment &#8211; one that satisfies the legislation, but one that also means instructors, and trainees understand the risks and what is expected from them.</p>
<div>
<p>1) Health of client: Clients must have submitted a <span>PARQ</span>, and if need be, been signed off by their doctor or have signed  a disclaimer</p>
<p>2) Slippery floor (sweat created, drink spills): Instructors to check area safe, clients to manage and observe during the session.</p>
<p>3) Equipment check: weekly, in-depth check by Crossfit LondonUK officers system to be set up, spotting loose screwsbolts, fraying bands/ropes/buckles, etc. A visual inspection before each session by the instructors as part of warm up. Clients to be aware.</p>
<p>4) Running outside the gym (as part of a WOD): The facility opens on to a road &#8211; albeit a quiet one, but a road never the less. Emphasise walking in and walking out.</p>
<p>open the door to right  angles, and clients to run towards bethnal green road ( ie turn right). If possible blue gate to be half  closed.</p>
<p>6) First aid: A first aider to be on-site when training is taking place.</p>
<p>7) Instructors to hold insurance cover, Crossfit London to take an interest in such cover.</p>
<p> <img src='http://crossfitlondonuk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Movement specific warm ups must preceed dense or intense sessions (dense = typical fast CF work out, intense = heavy weight)</p>
<p>9) Client must  know the move and be coached. Trainer must offer an adaptation or scaling alternative if required</p>
<p>10) To avoid over-training and possible injury by failure to consentrate, regular trainees must have a week off from training every 12th week</p>
<p>11) Trainees must have access to water, and be reminded that they may stop and rest at anytime</p>
<p>12) The dangers of rhabdomyolisis must be emphasized and clients taught to watch for danger signs. Intense eccentric training in dense conditions should not be deployed</p>
<p>13) All incidents/suspicions of disrepair, must be written up  in comments below</p>
<p>14) A first aid box is required, to be formally checked every  quarter by a CrossFit Londonofficer.</p>
<p>15) A member of the group must have an active working mobile phone incase of emergencies.( incase instructor has forgotten their one)</p>
