Typical hazards & measures
- Compressed air/CO2 cylinder handling — Only trained staff fit/refill cylinders. Inspect valves and store cylinders upright, labelled, away from heat or sunlight.
- Pellet handling and storage — Pellets kept in sealed tins away from firing line. Ammunition counts conducted post-session to ensure accountability.
- Range reconfiguration or target movement — Call clear cease-fire before moving targets. Staff supervises all changes and rechecks backstop alignment before resuming.
- Range layout and bullet containment — Designate a straight firing line with clearly marked lanes, waiting areas, and a safe backstop or pellet trap suited for rifle power. Erect barriers, test overshoot zones, and restrict access to supervised areas.
- Physical accessibility for participants — Adapt firing points with adjustable rests, ramps, and widened spaces. Train staff to accommodate mobility needs safely.
