BE COVID SAFE GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNITY SPORT

Troops holding events need to be familiar with COVID-19 Guidelines, and need to complete a COVID-19 Safety Plan and are required to display the necessary documentation if required. Some venues may require a Risk Management Form

Troops must contact their venue owners (Council, Trusts etc.) to confirm that the grounds are available for use and have completed their own risk assessment document for their venue. 

The following Covid safe practices are implemented to minimise cross contamination these include (but are not limited to):

  • Continue to self-distance, practice good hygiene,
  • Provide hand sanitiser dispensers in prominent places around the event
  • Keep all shared services and areas clean by washing/wiping down with antibacterial wipes or soap and water frequently.
  • Appoint one person to open and close venue gates at the start and end of the day
  • Clearly communicate your Covid Safety Plan and procedures to your members, prior to activities and events.
  • Ensure maximum numbers are adhered to for your venue
  • Members bring their own feed and buckets etc.
  • Minimise or remove any need to share tack or other equipment.
  • Non-contact for all uniform, saddlery and equipment –  when a gear check is performed disposable gloves are to be worn.
