Covid19 Policy

---

Our ability to operate groups will depend on how central government guidance evolves over the coming weeks a and months, our policy and approach will adapt as the guidance and law changes in response to the pandemic.

Our policy aims to give you the confidence and reassurance you need when planning your next steps into a new adventure.

 
Coasteering is an outdoor activity which is fantastic news as the risk is already greatly reduced. The most recent government guidance stated that ‘transmission risk outside is low‘. The route here is especially good for spacing people out sensibly, sessions can be easily adapted and coached slightly differently to allow for maximum engagement and safety. 

Please don’t come to our sessions if you are feeling unwell or have any of the following symptoms: a temperature of 37.8 or above, a new dry cough, loss of taste or smell. These are the main  symptoms of corona virus and if you have these symptoms you should self isolate for 7 days and call 111.

Public toilets are an issue at the moment so please come with an empty bladder, and be prepared to change in a vehicle or in the open air. Change matting will of course be provided.

Safety Measures Rock Solid has In place will include the following. 

Session group sizes will be limited at the moment in line with current government guidelines. 

Hand washing will be encouraged upon arrival and when leaving, sanitiser will also be offered when appropriate. Kitting up and initial briefings will be done with distancing in mind, participants may be required to help each other more instead of instructors jumping in. This may include emergency first aid under guidance.

Guides will wear face masks and gloves when in close proximity to clients for example when administering first aid (If required) Or when helping in any other way. 

How we support you on trips will be adapted to allow for distancing, and the conditions we operate in may also become more closely considered.

We ask that clients only come to sessions if they are healthy and well and them and their household have not displayed any corona symptoms in the past two weeks. Also if any party member develops symptoms after a trip they must be prepared to let us know so that appropriate measures (tracing if needed) can be done. We will hold a phone number for you in case you need to be contacted.

All kit used will be disinfected and fully sterilised after each use, it will be hung to dry for several days in the sun. Kit will be rotated as much as possible to again reassure and eliminate risk.

All these measures will be streamlined and efficient so as not to impinge in the real goal of our trips- having epic fun!!! 

There is no doubt that this period has been a challenge, there’s no point counting losses but rather try and move forward and establish some kind of normality as safely and reassuringly as possible. Your safety and enjoyment will always be our top priority as it always has been!

We are confident that the measures we will take are sufficient and supported by science and best industry practice, this will give our clients  faith and maintain our excellent reputation and safety record.
