We maintain our facilities in the best possible condition, but The Cockpit is an old building. Damage and imperfections are present and can occur suddenly during normal use. Sometimes, an activity that is normally safe may become compromised due to unexpected damage, such as to floor coverings or lighting.
It's your responsibility to undertake risk assessments for your activities and consider any limitations our facilities might present. We cannot monitor the building continuously so please check the space before use, alert us immediately to any issues, and if required, adjust or curtail your activities to account for the risk.
It's also important to read and comply with any signs in place for the safe use of facilities, whether permanent or temporary, and ensure that everyone working with you does the same.
Please note that none of our spaces are equipped with sprung floors and are therefore not suitable for pointe, tap, or other dance or physical theatre techniques that may cause microfractures or other injuries.
Assess the risks before you proceed!
