HEALTH & SAFETY
There are three fire extinguishers:
1 foam in the foyer
1 foam in the main hall
1 CO2 in the kitchen
They are all indicated by luminous signs, and are tested annually.

Fire exits all have illuminated signs:
Rear of hall – to main entrance
Rear of hall – to outside
Bar – to outside
Passage by side of stage – to outside
Committee Room – to outside

Please note: the kitchen external door is NOT an Emergency Exit because the most likely source of fire is the kitchen, in which case to open the door would fuel the flames. In the event of a fire in the kitchen, exit is via the main hall – an automatic shutter closes the serving hatch.

In the event of electricity failure:
A standby system automatically illuminates exit signs and emergency lights.

The electric supply is guarded by a modern RCD system.

All portable appliances are PAT tested annually.
