Health and Safety

Keeping everyone safe and healthy at your club is really important. Health and safety doesn’t have to be difficult or stop people from having fun. In fact, it helps people feel safe and enjoy being part of the club even more. It’s not just for the members; it’s also for coaches, helpers, and anyone involved in running the club.

UKA provides a health and safety helpline. If you need help producing a policy or risk assessments, you email safety@britishathletics.org.uk

If you have an incident, accident or fatality please report it to UK Athletics accident, incident and fatality website
