As you know in the sports centre it will be full of substances. An example of this would be chlorine in the swimming pool. If COSHH wasn’t then the people in the swimming pool would die because COSHH need to make sure that they put the correct amount of chlorine in the water, if they overdo it then it could lead to skin disease on people skin.

Statutory Law: This law is for everybody. This is a written law that must be followed by everyone. If someone breaks these laws then they will face charges. This law ensures that health and safety is done properly. An example of this would be that they don’t follow the law, they will face charges. It affects the sports club because it has a swimming pool, so the chlorine levels in the water are controlled well so that nobody can be harmed that is why the statutory law is there. Civil law: This is where the individuals exercise their rights to seek compensations for damages or injuries. Also this is a law that is not controlled by the judges based on previous things that had happen in the past. This law was created so that accidents on trampoline don’t happen again so that they look after the safety of people on it. This affect my sports club because an example of this would be that the trampolines would not be allowed to use without any spotters on each trampoline otherwise there would be an risk of

Tronc (as cited in Newnham, 2000, p. 50) argues “Teachers have a legal responsibility for the safety of their students”.

Furthermore, the policy provides a point of reference for teachers when using their professional judgement to make day-to-day decisions and assess risks associated with student activities.
