Welcome to the area dedicated to issues that could apply to the MARTIAL ARTS.

Associations, Clubs, Coaches and participants have a legal requirement to protect the Health and Safety of people that they train and train with.  Most martial arts have an element of contact.  Participants should be made aware of the risk associated with the sport before they begin training.  Every effort must be made to ensure that the training environment, practices and equipment will not cause serious injury to people taking part and other people making use of the premises.

Not only will you have employees to take care of but members of the public who frequent your premises making use of your CLUBS services as well as contractors and visitors.

As well as the basic key regulations to be found in the A-Z, we aim to provide content that is specific to THE MARTIAL ARTS activities. All hazards within your premises should be identified and the risk assessed.   Risk assessment is the first point of call for all good health and safety management. Remember good health and safety is a journey and working documents should be created and kept upto date.

By using our dedicated area and the A-Z, this site will support all your Health and Safety needs.

You will also find useful documentation in our 'Download' area, for:

• risk assessment,
