We believe we are a low-risk organisation as we:
Don’t go direct to source products.Do due diligence on our supply source where we buy from suppliers .
We have processes in place to ensure any purchases from consumers are free from criminal activity, and financially trackable. Should we subsequently identify criminal activity we would report this to law enforcement agencies.
We occasionally trade with brands who are aware of their obligations to source ethically and in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
During recruitment we ensure we verify the candidates “right to work” in the UK and that pay is only paid directly to the employee. We do not recruit from outside the UK and do not recruit agency staff.
Potential Incident/hazard: Should the shaft shatter, the club may be left with sharp edges.
Who is at risk: The golfer and anyone who would encounter the shaft after it has occurred.
Likelihood: Possible
Consequence: Minor Injury
Risk Level: Medium
Advice to control and mitigate the risk:
If shaft cracks/splits, ensure only to handle the intact part the furthest away part from the splinters.
When storing wrap toweling around the damaged part.
Never use the shaft with the slightest splintering and instead replace the shaft. Your local golf course or retailer should be able to advise you on this.
There are no further potential incidents/hazards that we have identified from the manufacturing/design however, we advise that golfers take advice from their local course management or PGA Professional on the use of golf clubs out on the course and follow any safety notices placed and read the back of the scorecards for localised rules on courses/driving ranges.
We advise customers to follow the following care suggestions:
Wash your clubs after each round with soapy water making sure the heads and grips of clubs are clean.
If transporting your clubs in the boot of your car, make sure that there is no stress placed on the shaft – if there is remove the driver/long woods from the bag and store them loosely.
To retain a good grip of your golf clubs you should have the grips replaced every 30-40 rounds. Your local golf club should have a regripping service.
Before taking a shot, you should check that fellow players are at least 3-4 metres away from you and behind your stance.
If at a driving range, ensure that your longest club (usually the driver) can safely be swung without contacting the surroundings (pillars, bay dividers, walls, etc.
If on the golf course review your surroundings to ensure that there will be no contact with surfaces (trees, rocks etc) during your follow through.
Risk Assessment – Golf Bags
We can identify no significant incident/hazard created from the design or manufacture of golf bags however the nature of their use is that straps can become worn or loose and these should be inspected before rounds and replaced should the item have served its use.
Risk Assessment – GPS/Rangefinders
During use we can identify no significant incident/hazard created from the design or manufacture of GPS items or Rangefinders. Our only incident/hazard identified comes from how it is charged if the unit has an internal rechargeable battery.
Potential Incident/hazard: Plugging any electrical equipment has a risk with potentially life-threatening fires or electrical shocks however if used correctly the risk is greatly reduced. These appliances require very low electrical flow however consumers should be aware of third-party chargers that may not be made to Uk and EU standards.
Who is at risk: The user and anyone in the premises the item is being charged.
Likelihood: Rare
Consequence: Insignificant Injury (most likely) but could be catastrophic (slim chance)
Risk Level: Low - Medium
Advice to control and mitigate
Only use genuine manufacturers chargers
Ensure electrical sockets are checked to ensure safe to use
Limit the amount of time the item is left on charge to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
Should you require a replacement instruction manual you should be able to find one online or contact us on the details below.
Risk Assessment – Accessories
We have assessed all current accessories that we sell into the EU and at present there are none that require any safety documentation. We will consistently review this as new products are identified.
