Typical hazards & measures
Inappropriate use of equipment
— Ensure participants are supervised by qualified instructors, and equipment is locked when not in use. Provide clear safety instructions at the start. Any participant not following rules should be removed from the session immediately.
Equipment malfunction and failure
— Regularly inspect all bows, arrows, and targets for signs of wear, instability, or damage. Remove any faulty items from service immediately and repair or replace before use. Ensure target stands are stable and properly anchored. Keep a maintenance log and have only trained staff conduct equipment checks.
Lack of safety signage
— Post clear signs around the range marking waiting areas, shooting lines, and no-entry zones. Ensure signs are visible from all participant areas to prevent unauthorized access to dangerous zones.
Improper storage of equipment
— Ensure all bows, arrows, and other equipment are stored securely in locked storage when not in use. Unauthorized use must be strictly prohibited, and regular inspections should be conducted to check for proper storage conditions.
Supervision and group management
— Maintain safe instructor-to-participant ratios and ensure supervisors are fully briefed on roles. Set clear behavioural expectations at the start of each session and use assistants or group leaders where needed. Provide regular instructions to keep participants engaged and minimise distractions.
