Leadership and Management

Workplace Health and Safety Policy Bounce Fitness recognises that the health and safety of all persons employed within the organisation and those visiting is of utmost importance. Resources in line with the importance attached to workplace health and safety will be made available to comply with all relevant Acts and Regulations and to ensure that the workplace is safe and without risk to health.

Management Responsibility

The promotion and maintenance of workplace health and safety is primarily the responsibility of management. Management at all levels is required to contribute to the health and safety of all persons in the workplace. To this end, it is the responsibility of management to develop, implement and keep under review, in consultation with its employees, the organisation’s WHS Program in each Centre.
