RISK ASSESSMENTS AND HEALTH AND SAFETY
Please remember that you are responsible for doing your own risk assessment. If you make a preparatory visit our site staff will advise you of any important points to look out for. Please do not ask our staff on site to check or sign any sections of your risk assessment form as they do not have any responsibility to do so.
Freij World Attractions Ltd. carries £10 million Third Party Liability (PLI) cover for the risks associated with visitors to our sites.
We require you to have at least one adult to every ten children in a group containing pupils of school years one to three.
Group leaders must take responsibility for their group and supervise their pupils or students during the visit. Remember that whilst every effort has been made by World Tourist Attractions ltd to protect visitors from unsuspected hazards at our Observation wheels it is not possible for our staff to supervise your group. Teachers must stress this to pupils or students before the visit, and must ensure that they are closely supervised at all times while on site. As part of risk assessment, group leaders should check with their Local Education Authority or employer about their own insurance and health and safety requirements.
