Courses- Safety Information- Please Read

Barnes Safety Services welcomes you to one of our training courses, as we are trying to simulate real-life scenarios there is a degree of physical activity involved, and wish to make you aware of this.

We will try to make your experience safe and rewarding, but we must advise you that there is a degree of risk as with any physical activity. For a healthy individual, the risk involved in our courses should be minimal. Anyone with preexisting conditions (ex. Heart disease, muscle/ joint conditions, previous injuries that may be aggravated) may want to consider these things before continuing with the course.

Before you sign the attached liability waiver please consider the following questions:

  • Are you on Medications that may affect your ability to stand, walk, bend, or kneel?
  • Have you recently undergone surgery?
  • Do you have a medical condition that can be aggravated by walking, standing, bending, or kneeling?
  • If you answer yes to any of them you should consider consulting your doctor before continuing the course.

If you have been feeling ill in the 48 hours leading up to this course or are under a doctor's care during the same period, you will need to produce a certificate of fitness from a doctor to continue this course.

Anyone who suffers from a phobia (e.g. claustrophobia) should bring this to the attention of the instructor in private before the course and accommodations will be made if practically possible.

For your general safety, the instructor will give a safety briefing before the start of the course identifying safety features, procedures, and emergency exit locations for the facility. Any questions please feel free to ask the instructor.
