Safety, Welfare & Security

Safety & Welfare

Upon arrival at Dorney Lake for your first duty, you will be provided with a safety handbook which you will be expected to study carefully.  It will vary slightly according to your duties and location, but the basics remain the same – that you are made aware of your responsibility to act in order to maintain the safety plans identified in the event risk assessment.

The handbook is available to download and you are encouraged to familiarise yourself with the content ahead of arrival on site.

Please consider your own welfare when preparing to come to the course each day - water bottles and suncream are important in all types of weather!

The Organising Committee have produced a Welfare Policy for the Championships; as well as the Safety Handbooks please familiarise yourself with the policy and the procedures contained within it

Welfare Policy

Security

Please be aware that there will be no secure area for holding personal belongings, therefore you are advised to bring with you only those valuables that you can safely carry upon your person.  For those travelling to the course by bike or on foot, there will be limited storage area in the Volunteer tent but it will not be secure and should only be for a change of clothes etc
