Health and Safety Update

Goal post standards across the UK have had an update recently and so our guidance available via the Health and Safety Documents for Schools page (for schools where Warwickshire County Council is the employer) has been reviewed and updated to align with the new changes.

The main changes are around the inspection and maintenance of the goal posts, as well as the initial procurement of any new goal posts. The new guidance also covers general Health and Safety advice, the lifetime management and use of the goals on your sites and has been put together using both BSI standards BS EN 748:2018 and BS EN 16579:2018. The document also includes an example goal post inspection checklist.
