Outdoor Equipment


Do you have outdoor equipment available for your guests to use?  Regardless of whether guests pay to hire cycles, water equipment, fishing or other outdoor equipment or whether it is provided free, those who let guests use this equipment have obligations under the Health & Safety Act and must take reasonably practicable steps to identify hazards (including bodies of water).  Don't forget that you are also covered by the H&S Act if you are riding a cycle for work related reasons!   You should ensure any equipment supplied is cleaned and serviced regularly.  Below is further safety information.

Use of some outdoor equipment may also quality under "Adventure Activities" and may have additional safety requirements under the Act.  For further information about Adventure Activities - click here
