FOR YOUR SAFETY

Added 09 March 2009 - Please read:

Fire Alarm – We have had a new fire alarm installed with increased detectors to bring the Club up to modern standards. However we decided that a strobe light warning for the deaf was not essential so should you bring a deaf person into the Club please warn them that the alarm has sounders only and not strobe lights.

Should the alarm sound please leave the building as quickly as possible and ensure that other members also leave the building.  Only if the fire is small and you are familiar with the extinguishers should you pause to use them – do not risk your own safety.

Please contact the Fire Brigade, the alarm is not automatically connected to the Fire Brigade.

Defibrillator – For the safety of members and guests we have purchased a defibrillator that is mounted on the wall by the squash courts.

If anyone collapses and stops breathing and shows no pulse phone for an ambulance and ask someone to stand by the door to lead the paramedics to the patient. Take the defibrillator to the patient and press the green button, the defibrillator will then give spoken instructions.  NB. YOU CANNOT DO THE PATIENT ANY HARM you may save a life.
