This webinar will be delivered by OPUS Safety, Scottish Gymnastics’ Health & Safety partner, and will provide an overview of what they do, as well as specific and relevant topics to clubs.
Topics will include:
We will be looking at, and understanding, Martyn’s Law. Officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, it is a UK-wide legislation that applies fully to Scotland. The Act extends across the entire United Kingdom, placing legal duties on those responsible for qualifying public premises and events in Scotland. It is expected to come into full force around April 2027, after an implementation period.
It is extremely important for clubs to be aware of legal obligations that could hit threshold numbers when hosting events, such as competitions and displays.
We will also be covering how clubs can prepare for winter and make sure gyms are safe and prepared for any cold weather conditions that could hit over the winter months.
