Posted By Mark B Katie, As always the answer is in risk assessment! However, here are a few things you may wish to consider. Is this area supervised? If not and only one person was using the facilities and was injured or become ill, how long would it be before help arrived? Do these clients receive training in the use of the equipment? if not the chance of an accident must increase. Also on this point your inspection and maintenence program should be in line with manufactures guidance, however this is usally for normal use. If the Clients are unsupervised and untrained how can you ensure the the equipment is used correctly i.e. normal use? Are there any first aiders on site? or can someone contact the emergency services? Are the clients aware of these procedures? What level of insurance is required and is it in place. Are these clients subject to a medical questionaire before they are allowed to use the facilities? Who installed the equipment. Who will carry out regular inspections and maintainence and what is their competency for doing this? hope this is of some help. Regards, Mark.
