Hygiene with Buff Performance

Buff Performance Do’s And Don’ts – Member Hygiene

Cleanliness & personal hygiene is a key part of your attendance with Buff Performance, not only for your own health, your team mates and coaches health but as a reflection as your dedication to training.

Having your exercise hygiene in check ensures a disciplined mind-set and should mitigate against any unnecessary potentially illness. If everyone ensures they do their bit, our community should keep an excellent standard of hygiene.

—————————————————————————————-

Do’s

present for training with clean training apparel.

Ensure you wash your hands thoroughly before coming to training and after training.

Showering or bathing after training is an absolute must.

If you use the bathroom during training, ensure you wash your hands thoroughly with soapy water, and leave the bathroom in a tidy state for the next user, as you would expect to find it.

If you have any cuts / sores / grazes, ensure they are fully covered and not exposed during training. Plasters / bandages should not fall off during training. Ensure you inform the coach of any serious wound that might impede training.

Should you need to cough or sneeze, use a tissue or your arm to cover your mouth & nose – NOT YOUR HANDS

Your equipment’s should be clean / ventilated between uses. Leaving them in your kit-bag between training with sweat until the next use is not hygienic for you or your team mates. This encourages bacteria to fester and fungi to grow.

Regular wiping down of your equipment with anti-bacterial wipes or sprays should occur regularly.

Cut and clean your finger & toenails regularly at home.

Don’ts

If you feel unwell, don’t come to training.

If you have been sick, ensure you have recovered with the appropriate downtime before returning to training.

If someone close to you has had a serious illness that can be passed on from person to person, please take some time away from training to ensure you have also not picked up the illness.

Don’t train with open wounds.

Do not train in shoes that have been worn outdoors. In exceptional circumstances where shoes are permitted hey must be thoroughly clean.
