Health & Safety

To ensure adequate health and safety awareness, training is provided to all members on a regular basis and when a new member joins the club.  The following information is briefed to all club members and parents/guardians when joining.

 

Safety on the Mat

• Never wear shoes on the mat.

• Come to the training session washed with a clean Gi.

• Watch your space on the mat and if thrown get up quickly to avoid someone falling on you.

• When seated, kneel or sit cross legged. Do not lean on the wall – you may not be able to get out of the way quickly enough.

 

Safety off the Mat

• Wear shoes at all times when off the mat.

• Always ask permission to leave the mat.

• After using the toilet, wash your hands.

Accidents/Incidents

• Do not come to play Judo if you are not fit enough to train.

• If you come to a training session with an injury, inform the coach at the start of the session.

• Do the exercises as shown; do what you can and do it well but not to the point of straining.

• If you are hurt, inform the Coach immediately.

• Keep your medical form up to date.

• Have a current BJA license – it is your insurance.
