HEALTH & SAFETY STATEMENT

Southern Lakes Ultra is committed to ensuring the Health and Safety of all organiser’s volunteers and runners.

The foremost objective of the Southern Lakes Ultra is to encourage healthy lifestyles and provide an Event in the picturesque South Island from the Southern Lakes to Queenstown.

While it is important for competitors to achieve their goals, at no point will athletes be coerced or pressured into continuing beyond the point they feel comfortable.

Organisers will ensure the safety of runners and volunteers by:

·         Ensuring that people are not exposed to unmanaged or uncontrolled hazards.

·         Providing and maintaining a hazard identification procedure and management strategy

·         Annually reviewing and updating the Health and Safety Management Plan

·         Recording & investigating incidents and communicating the learnings to all

Our goal is to ensure everyone involved achieves their personal goals in a healthy and safe way. There will be open and honest communication between the organiser’s, volunteers and runners at all times.
