Students’ Union UCL recognises that in spite of all reasonable precautions accidents/incidents/near misses can still occur during activities. The following procedures are designed to:
For the equipment you hire to be covered by Students’ Union UCL insurance it needs to be logged and submitted to our insurance company. If you do not do this and the equipment is damaged or goes missing you and your Club or Society will be liable for the full cost to replace the item.

All clubs and societies are required assess their activities for risk (by creating a risk assessment). This can be as simple as assessing a lecture theatre for slip, trip and fall hazards through to complex expeditions to countries around the world where risks are much greater and implications more serious.
