Use protective padding on rectangular backboard edges in secondary school facilities. Ensure that only trained adults or students under supervision use motorized or hand winches to raise and lower baskets. Teach skills in proper progression. Base games and activities on skills that are taught. Use benches that are free of cracks, chipped corners or splinters on the usable surface.
Secure bench tops to all supports.
Wear suitable clothing and footwear. Teach all skills in a logical progression from simple to complex. Instruct students never to jump from seat over back of chair. Provide on-site supervision. Schools are encouraged to consider alternative program options to replace high-risk activities.
