CV19 and Social Distancing: Important please read

Taking responsibility:

• Leaders, instructors and participants must consider safety first, particularly minimising the risk of infection/transmission and the risk of injury that places further pressure on the NHS
• Riders are participating at their own risk, Marmalade MTB will be keeping a record of attendance of this session along with rider consent

Social distancing guidelines:

• Social distancing measures should be respected at all times during the session
• All the participants are at higher risk of being directly exposed to respiratory droplets released by someone talking or coughing when you are within 2 metres of someone and have face-to-face contact with them. All of the participants can lower the risk of infection if you stay side-to-side rather than facing people

Equipment:

• Face masks per person in case of a first aid emergency
• Each rider to supply and carry their own mask
• Riders should be encouraged to wear appropriate safety equipment for the activity, recognising the need to minimise risk of injury
• Any shared equipment used during an activity should be cleaned before and after each session
• Avoid activities that require contact directly or indirectly (i.e. high-5’s, hand shakes, the passing of a water bottle)
• No sharing of drinks bottles should be allowed, with riders asked to bring their own labelled drinks
• Gloves are not mandatory as the World Health Organisation (WHO) advice is that it is preferable not to wear gloves but to regularly wash your hands
