Statement of Intent
This statement is issued in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. It supplements the statements of health and safety policy which have been agreed upon by the Board of Trustees. Bournemouth Above and Beyond Trust (BAABT) will provide and maintain safe and healthy conditions, equipment and procedures at its Boat House facility as far as possible.
BAABT accepts that by allowing adults and children to participate in water-sports activities, it must take responsibility for the safeguarding and welfare of all stakeholders involved which includes protecting them from physical, psychological and emotional harm. These stakeholders include, but are not limited to:
- Clients
- Trustees
- Volunteers
- Employees
- Contractors
- Passers-by
Whilst BAABT acknowledges that it is not possible to completely remove the risk of incidences occurring, it aims to minimise the chances and seriousness of accidents which might occur. Therefore, BAABT has a legal obligation to be as safe as reasonably possible.
Our sea front boat-shed location is where we run our water sessions from. It is at the bottom of Gordon’s zig-zag, just off Southbourne Overcliffe Dr. heading down towards the seafront.
