We are a part of large organisation (3000+ employees) with a number of sites trhoughout the UK. the site where I am based has probably 80 employees and has inherited some gym equipment – stepping machine, running, rowing machines, etc. As a low key benefit to our employees we want to provide the facility during lunch, after work, etc. However although I am aware that some organisations do provide as a benefit, I wonder what needs to be done to get the project fully running and the company covered. We can have the equipment regularly checked/serviced, and provide a qualified personal trainer to train/induct users before they start using it, but I wonder what other areas we need to be aware of from personal liability point of view. For example would signed disclaimers be needed? Risk Assessments? It doesnt seem too straight forward to be honest, so I would appreciate any guidance or where I can get more info?

Thanks
Richard
