Posted By Raymond Rapp Roger In the absence of any response I will try to assist. First, I recall there was a thread some time ago regarding gym equipment and risks, so you may wish to do a search on previous posts. A risk assessment should take into account any misuse of the equipment, deliberate or otherwise and any restrictions of use. Not sure what type of people will be using the gym, but again take this into consideration ie young, old, infirm etc. A system should be in place for periodical inspection and maintenance of equipment. For most items I would think a simple visual inspection would suffice, but make sure you document it. The equipment should be supplied or fitted by a bonafide supplier who can also provide suitable instructions for its proper use and storage. Storing the equipment properly when not in use will help avoid any unnecessary accidents. Also consider whether you need any signage or barriers for both users and non-users. Best to have in a system in place for emergencies, which could be basic first aid or arrangements for summoning the emergency services. Without more specific details this is the best I can do. Ray
