AQUA GOLF RISK ASSESSMENT

AQUA GOLF RISK ASSESSMENT
Hitting bay safety Features:

Safety nets to the left and right of each individual mat

Rear Fence and Gate to stop anyone walking in unexpectedly

A roof so you can hit in all weather conditions and which prevents
anything landing in a mat area.

Cement in front of mats to make the golf balls roll into the water. This
removes the incentive for people to walk in front of mats to pick up golf
balls.

All bolts within the mat area have been cut down so nobody can trip on
them.
