Safety Policy

Semley Village Hall Management Committee intends to comply with all Health and Safety, Food Hygiene, Fire Safety, Safeguarding Vulnerable Persons legislation and to act positively where it can reasonably do so to prevent injury, ill health or any danger arising from its activities and operations.

Our policy is to:

  1. Provide healthy and safe working conditions, equipment and systems of work for our users, employees, volunteers, and committee members.

  2. Keep the village hall and equipment in a safe and clean condition for all users.

  3. Reduce the risk of fire, prevent fire, provide fire extinguishing equipment to fight fire and provide sufficient exits for users in the event of fire.

  4. Safeguard vulnerable users.

  5. Provide such training and information as is necessary to staff, volunteers and users. 

Employees, hirers and visitors will be expected to recognise that there is a duty on them to comply with the practices set out by the committee, with all safety requirements set out in the hiring agreement and with safety notices on the premises and to accept responsibility to do everything they can to prevent injury and/or harm to themselves or others.
