Following our Range Officer course of 13/10/07 the following points were brought to our attention.

I dont know the importance of each of them and I simple reproduce them here.

1. Range Cert - It (or a copy) should be on display
2. "No unruly behaviour" on safety rules - done
   
3. We should have a notice on the main door about 'dont remove ammo or brass from the range unless you hold a FAC for that type of ammo'
   
4. Cone-of-fire suggests that new-starts should use the middle (also easy ability for RCO to monitor this position)
5. We should not allow cross shooting since the range will not have been designed for that
6. Extractor fans should run 15 before and 30 after each session
7. We need a little COSHH on lead handling - Alistair said he would do that
   
8. Official NO SMOKING signs to comply with the legislation
9. Fire Risk Assessment - a legal requirement under 2005 act - may also need fire extinguishers to be present/tested.
10. Issues of the railway people transporting lead/residue from range into carpet, also issues of 'wee jimmy' in visiting the trains picking up brass (or a mislaid live round) and taking it to school
11. We should have a range-inspection book showing that we do periodic (10 yearly?) inspections
12. We should consider having a range-officiating book showing which range officer was on when - while this would allocate blame - but more usefully  would show that RCOs were using their skills and would assist on a renewal application
13. We should have an 'isolation switch' sign on the power switches so that people know how to turn an electrical fire into a normal fire
14. The emergency exit lights should be pictograph and should continue to operate in a power outage.  Perhaps we should just have signs and not lights?
