A Member at another club tripped while moving between tables resulting in multiple fractures.

A general risk assessment at bridge clubs pointed out possible hazards:

• Avoid placing handbags on the floor next to chairs
• Place walking sticks appropriately (ask others at your table to help if reqd)
• Ensure no-one is behind you when moving back chairs to stand
• Do not crowd slowly moving people on entrancing or exiting the club
• Position tables as far apart as possible
• Ensure any wires or cables are not placed in a position that can trip

Please help avoid another accident by following the above and feel free to speak to another member, or a committee member, or the director if you spot a hazard.
