Fire safety while at the gym

As you will know if you are a frequent visitor to and member of a gym, sports or leisure club, there can be a varying number of people on the premises at any given time. Therefore, it is extremely difficult, unless there are effective procedures put in place, to monitor who is using the facilities when an event such as a fire takes place.

Those who own and manage these types of organisations will need to be aware of such issues and ensure that their staff is on top of all procedures, reports and anything else relating to fire safety on the premises.

When you deal with this large amount of people, you need to install systems that account for who is on site any particular point in time. As well as this, sports and leisure clubs usually contain many different areas where staff are deployed and interchange. So, as you can see, there is quite a lot to consider.

Another potential issue all businesses need to address is the risk of arson. You need to regularly check the areas around as well as within the premises to make sure you are doing everything you possibly can to ensure this is not allowed to happen. Staff need to be trained accordingly on what to keep an eye out for and a system established for who should be checking where, and when.

A Fire Safety in Sports Clubs course has been devised to address all these issues and will help your staff in dealing with any potential hazards and how to put procedures in place to deal with a fire.
