Emergency Procedures

These emergency protocols are an essential component of the Risk Management Plan for Gymsports Management and their venues and are designed to meet statutory and professional requirements to minimize the risk of injury and damage arising from an emergency situation

Emergency is an unplanned, sudden or unexpected event or situation that requires immediate action to prevent harm, injury or illness to persons or damage to the service’s environment. It is a risk to an individual’s health and safety.
