HEALTH & SAFETY

The Great Escape aims to provide the highest safety standards for young people, adult groups and employees involved in adventurous outdoor activities. Outdoor adventure activities involve an element of risk; it is recognised that this is necessary to provide an appropriate level of challenge, and through skilful management, it can stimulate and encourage personal and social development. Your safety is of paramount importance to us and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.

Insurance

The Great Escape is insured through the Activities Industry Mutual Group and has Public Liability Insurance to £10 million.

Staff

Great Escape camps/events are led by fun, experienced and appropriately qualified team leaders and instructors. In addition, our staff have excellent “soft skills”, for example, the ability to provide individual support, encouragement and help to increase the self-confidence of participants. All our staff share responsibility for ensuring that our health and safety policy is put into practice; all staff are familiar with our code of practice, operating procedure and risk assessment documents and ensure that all activities are managed according to these procedures. 

All staff possess a current first aid qualification.

Equipment

We only use the best technologies and zipline equipment designed by experienced experts to the highest standards. All our zipline harnesses and trolley equipment are carefully checked and rechecked after every use for quality assurance and to make sure all equipment is totally fit for use.
