Question

What precaution can be taken to prevent injuries in the gymnasium?

Answer 1

Keep gym equipment securely arranged and provide enough space for each exercise and for warm-ups. Regularly inspect equipment and electrical fittings, and remove or repair unsafe items. Keep the floor clean, dry and non-slippery, with adequate lighting, sanitation and water. Users should learn the correct way to operate each machine and lift or replace weights safely. Coaches or instructors should supervise exercise, especially when heavy weights are being used.
