Chelmsford Golf Club Health and Safety - Visitors GENERAL " Golfers are made aware of any specific dangers on the course " by notices and warning signs. These normally occur in the following places - rights of way, footpaths and cross-over's. RISK ASSESSMENT - General Players must be aware of golfers on adjacent holes - if in doubt a warning shout of 'Fore' must be given. Golfers should also be aware of rabbit and other burrowing animal holes which are present on the course, specifically in wooded areas. SPECIFIC - There are huts providing shelter at the 1st tee and by the 5th and 11th greens and 6th and 12th tees. " - Care should be exercised when approaching or retrieving golf balls from the ponds on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th holes; the ditches to the left of and across the 3rd fairway; to the left of the 4th and 5th holes; between the 8th and 16th fairways; to the right of the 9th; between the 10th and 14th holes; to the right of the 12th. - Care should also be taken when ascending and descending all steps to tees. - There are no Public Footpaths anywhere on the course and any walkers have no rights on the course. - Care should be taken at 'cross-over's' which are on the 2nd - players will cross from the 10th green to the 11th tee and from the 13th green to the 14th tee. Priority is also given to golfers teeing off the 2nd tee (by players on the 14th tee); - Golfers putting out on the 9th and 10th greens should give priority to those playing from the 10th and 14th tees. - Players should allow the group in front to be suitably advanced when playing tee shots from the 10th, 13th and 14th tees as golfers may be unsighted due to the tree line. - Throughout the year the Green keeper may use chemicals to treat the course - appropriate signage will be strategically placed as golfers come onto the course by the right of the putting green and on the 1st and 10th tees. - Shots into the practice net must be played from the mat provided and not from any other area - Care should be exercised when walking to the 1st, 10th and 14th fairways as golfers using the practice ground maybe hitting shots towards the railway line and across the 14th green. Players are encouraged to use shoe cleaning facilities after play. This reduces the risk of a slip or fall on hard surfaces in and around the club. Players choosing to use the air compressor/gun situated at the entrance to the changing rooms must observe the following: - The safety glasses are to be worn during use. - The trigger should only be "pulled" with the gun pointing towards your feet. - Please avoid standing in the metal grate - instead hang your foot over the grate and blow the debris into the grate. When you have finished hang the gun and safety glasses back on their respective hooks. Under no circumstances point the gun towards your or anyone else's face - by doing so you may cause serious injury. EMERGENCIES - Chelmsford Golf Club rules require phones to be switched off on the course; however, they may be used to summon help in an emergency (including First Aid) by telephoning the Clubhouse on 01245 250555. Visitors Responsibilities The above document has attempted to highlight some of the risks associated with the sport of golf. Health and Safety is a core competence of CGC. The Club wish to thank visitors for their close attention. Director - Health and Safety, Chelmsford Golf Club January 2008 Last updated 2nd July 2008 |
