How We Ensure Your Safety
How We Ensure Your Safety at Combat Splat Paintball?
At Combat Splat Paintball, we recognise that without proper procedures, paintball can be a risky activity. However, safety is always our top priority, and we often go above and beyond to ensure the well-being of all participants. Our excellent safety record is evidence that we are doing things right!
We simply will not compromise on safety during our paintball events.
How We Make Our Paintball Venue as Safe as Possible:
Protective Equipment: Players are provided with full-body overalls and complete face, eye, and ear protective goggles. All goggles are checked weekly and before each paintball session to ensure they are in good condition, with any that do not meet our high standards being promptly replaced.
Safety Briefing: A comprehensive safety talk is conducted at the start of each session by our fully qualified site manager to ensure everyone understands the rules and safety protocols.
Visible Safety Signage: Two large summary signs detailing safety rules are prominently displayed at either end of the paintball reception area, serving as a constant reminder of the guidelines in place during our events.
Strict Enforcement of Rules: We are firm in our commitment to safety; if any rules are broken, we will not hesitate to remove players from the games if they pose a risk to themselves or others.
Trained Marshals: Each paintball game is supervised by trained marshals, with at least one marshal for every 15 players. In most cases, this ratio is even lower to ensure close supervision.
Designated Safe Zones: Clear safe zones are established within the paintball game areas for players to go to when they run out of paintballs or lives. These zones clearly distinguish between active players and those who are not participating.
Ongoing Safety Reminders: Signs throughout the venue remind players to keep their goggles on and highlight the locations of safe zones.
Regular Equipment Checks: All paintball guns are routinely speed-checked to ensure they are firing at regulated speeds of between 250-280 FPS.
Safety Features: Each paintball gun is equipped with safety catches, and players are given barrel bungs between games to prevent accidental firing.
Regular Maintenance: Our woodland paintball experiences and all constructions are routinely monitored and inspected to maintain the highest safety standards.
Emergency Preparedness: Qualified first aiders are always on site, and marshals maintain radio contact at all times. Mobile phones are carried for emergencies, and first aid kits are readily available in the reception area, checked and updated weekly.
