Health and Safety Rules
|
The following guidelines have been formulated by the Committee to ensure, as far as possible, the safety of club members and the general public during club training runs |
-
Reflective vests must be worn from 01 October to 31 March.
-
Abide by the Highway Code
-
Be aware of other road users and pedestrians to ensure that we do not cause a nuisance or inconvenience
-
Face oncoming traffic whilst running on roads without adequate pavements
-
If you have to run on the road no more than two abreast and single file if necessary
-
Avoid overtaking on the road if there’s traffic coming
-
Allow faster runners off first on busy roads to avoid unnecessary overtaking and straying off pavements
-
Avoid congregating on corners or at junctions between training efforts
-
Club training sessions during the dark winter nights must be run in well lit areas for obvious safety reasons.
-
In the event of a large turnout during running evenings it may be necessary to split into two groups, until the first effort point or what is considered a safe congregation point.
The Committee’s agreed areas to be avoided as unsuitable for training efforts during hours of darkness are:
Burgage Lane
Ropewalk
Church Street
Hopkiln Lane (except that part bordering the Glenfields block)
Kirklington Road (except that part bordering the Glenfields block)
