As a committee member of my local rugby club, I have been tasked with the Health & Safety requirements of the club having recently completed my NEBOSH Certificate.
I'm not too sure if need to comlply with the Health and Safety at Work Act which would mean risk assessments for paid staff,COSHH assessments for cleaner's products and even the groundsman's chemicals.Would we also be responsible for spectator safety ETC?
Any advice or links to appropriate literature would be much appreciated.

The simple answer is yes, to all of the above. I have looked into several aspects of sports and leisure h&s management so if you contct me direct I can give you some documents to peruse.
Another point worth noting and if I did not comment on it someone would, that is whether the work you are doing is paid or unpaid. If you are doing a 'favour' ensure that you have covered yourself. Just in case anything untoward may happen.
Regards
Ray

Posted By RobCammish Scott I act as Deputy Safety Officer for a Nationwide Conference football club and I will point you towards the Football safety Officers website www.fsoa.org.uk which will be able to provide you with much of the help that you require, also the "bible" which we use is the "safety at sports grounds " book commonly referred to as the green book, obtainable from all good bookshops or HMSO, failing that have a word with your local trading standards officer who represents the enforcement agency for sports grounds. Hope this helps
