The safety of all those who visit BJC is of paramount concern. This document deals with the procedures used by BJC to ensure the safety of all those who attend or play at its concerts. It has been produced following discussion with other Centre users and interested parties, and represents the thinking of all Committee members. It is reviewed regularly, and shared with new committee members. The document is published on the Club website ( www.berkhamstedjazz.co.uk ).
At all concerts: * there will be four stewards, one of whom will be the co-ordinating steward, * stewards will be recognisable via dayglo jackets, * a steward will be seated close to each exit, * stewards and exits will be pointed out to the audience before the concert begins.
In an emergency: * stewards will ensure the lights are switched on (the switches are by the corridor doors), * the primary responsibility of stewards is to ensure everyone gets out of the building safely to the assembly areas (the car park at the rear of the building and the pavement outside Bill’s restaurant),
If the emergency is fire-related:
At all times stewards will bear in mind general safety concerns (for example, spilt drinks or other hazards, etc).
