Has your Shoot got a Safety Plan? It is not too late to do it now  [top]

If you haven't got a Safety Plan and you have five or more employees on your shoot, whether you pay them or not (beaters, pickers-up), you are breaking the law. This is not new legislation, it is part of the Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974 largely ignored by shoots until recent legal action brought it to the public attention. Are your shoot vehicles safe? An accident involving a shoot vehicle resulting in a death may lead to a charge of Corporate Manslaughter, as the shoot captain this will probably be down to you, are you prepared?

Please visit the Shoot Safety Plan page for information on how we can help you.


Shooting Lincs... Is supporting the Taste of Game initiative  [top]

The Taste of Game initiative is held during the week of the 18th to 21st November annually, its purpose is to promote the selling and eating of Game. Often overlooked by shoppers as being expensive and difficult to cook and prepare, however, Game is on the increase in shops and supermarkets thanks to the initiatives by BASC and the Countryside Alliance. During the Game week many establishments host events to support Game foods as a viable alternative to many of the traditional dishes. Game is wholesome and nutritious and low in fat and is a sustainable food source that is natural.

Shooting Lincs... will be holding three Taste of Game Dinners during the week. Our traditional venue, The Old Ship Inn at Pointon will be held on the 18th November and two additional dinners will be held at The Chequers at Potterhanworth on the 19th November and The Red Lion Inn at Partney on the 21st November, that leaves the 20th November to attend the BASC Roadshow at the Springfield Centre in Spalding. Please try to find the time to attend one of the Game dinners, you may be surprised at how tasty Game can be. For further details and an application, please visit the What's On page.

Shoot Loses Legal Case - No Safety Plan!  [top

As a shoot Captain or shoot organiser, are you aware of your obligations regarding the Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974? "But that's got nothing to do with me, we don't employ anybody on our shoot." Read on, the article on Shoot Safety Plans may keep you out of Court. A shoot, in Brindle, Lancashire, has recently lost it's legal battle against shoot saboteurs after the judge threw the case out of court because the Shoot didn't have a safety plan and was deemed not to be operating legally. If you are a shoot in Lincolnshire and don't currently have a safety plan in place then this can also happen to you. Shooting Lincs... can help you with this, we have qualified and experienced H&S qualified personnel who can assess your shoot and draft a safety plan that will keep you out of court or help you if you are in court.
