New Health & Safety Officer

The new Health & Safety Officer is Wendy Parfitt.
Walk leaders should still retain their risk assessment forms for three years. In case of an accident or reportable incident, contact Wendy.


Relaxation of Booking Requirements

While booking your place on a walk is still strongly advised, it is no longer essential. If you do not book, however, you risk missing late changes to starting point or time, or even cancellation.

These changes are often shown on the website but this cannot be guaranteed.

Some leaders may insist on booking on the walks programme.


Simplified Risk Assessment Procedures

Walk leaders are still required to complete a risk assessment form for each walk.They are no longer required to send a copy to the association's Health and Safety Officer, unless an incident occurs during the walk. In that event, the form should be submitted as soon as possible, together with a report of the incident. Walk leaders should keep copies of their forms for at least three years to ensure compliance with the association's insurance conditions.
