Table Tennis Tauranga Health & Safety

TABLE TENNIS TAURANGA HEALTH & SAFETY TABLE SETTING UP The Management committee would like to inform all members that two people are required when setting up and putting down a table especially those who are new to it. You must be shown correctly first how it is done. The Butterfly table weighs 140kgs and can cause considerable damage if it falls on you. BALL BARRIERS The blue barriers that divide the playing areas can be a hazard if they are not used correctly. Please ensure when you access the playing area you move one end of the barrier to make an opening, walk through and then move the barrier to once again close the gap. If you are tall enough and confident to clearly step over you may do so. DO NOT JUMP OVER THE BARRIERS as you may end up tripping or damaging the barrier. DAMAGING A BARRIER BY WRECKLESS CAUSE If an individual has damaged a barrier by any wreckless cause such as jumping over, foolishly running around or any such behavior they will be liable for the replacement of such a barrier.
