Typical hazards & measures
Inadequate instructor-to-participant ratio
— Cap attendance, add assistant instructors for groups over 15, and assign spotters for balance or inversion work. Use pre-registration to track attendance and prevent overcrowding.
Medical conditions (asthma, injuries)
— Collect medical information during sign-up, confirm participants carry necessary medication, and brief instructors discreetly on needs. Keep a log of emergency contacts, inhalers, and epinephrine pens onsite.
Equipment failure (mats, audio, lighting)
— Inspect mats and straps weekly, test AV systems before each session, and keep spare mats, cables, and batteries onsite. Create a maintenance log for repairs and replacements, and promptly remove damaged gear.
Injury during transitions or entering/exiting
— Stagger arrival and exit times, tape clear pathways, and allow time between sessions to reset mats and remove clutter. Assign a staff member to direct traffic flow and supervise space changes during transitions.
Tripping over props (blocks, straps, chairs)
— Designate prop storage at edges of mats or along walls. Remind participants to return props after use. Assign staff to monitor clutter, mark storage zones, and clear spaces between sessions for safe transitions.
