Meeting House Health and Safety Information

The plan above shows the location of the Emergency Exits, the Fire Alarm Buttons and the Fire Extinguishers. Familiarize yourself with these. Fire extinguishers should only be used to fight small fires and only after the alarm has been raised.

Make sure you keep a count of how many people are in your group so that, in an emergency, you can do a head count at the Assembly Point. Make sure all of your group know the location of the Assembly Point.

Anything that has a naked flame, candles, lanterns, matches, hurricane lamps and so on, are not allowed anywhere on the premises.

All spillages must be cleaned up immediately to prevent accidents.

All communal areas (shown in grey on the plan above) must be kept clear of any obstacles at all times.

All approaches to emergency exits must also be kept clear of any obstacles.

All cupboards must have their doors closed when not in use.

Bicycles are not allowed in the Meeting House and must be left in the car park. There are racks that bicycles can be chained to.

Playing and socializing is not allowed in the car park.

Other Information

Alcohol is not permitted anywhere on the premises at any time.

There is no smoking anywhere inside the Meeting House, the garden to the front or the car park to the rear. There is a smoking station beside the side gate outside the kitchen. This is the only place smoking is allowed.

The heating system and hot water is run from a boiler situated in the kitchen. This is not to be touched at any time.

Cleaning

A mop and bucket can be found in the ladies toilet.

A broom and dust pan and brush are available in the area between accessible and ladies toilet.

Other cleaning materials are under the sink in the kitchen.
