THINKING ABOUT SAFETY

A SOCIAL media campaign has been running since

March, using the hashtag #BETASafetyWeek

Some retailers are offering discounts on safety equipment, from high-vis gear to hats and body protectors, but more are offering free safety checks

Tips include checking hats after falls, buying the exact hat you were fitted to, rather than the same size and model, as individual helmets can vary, checking the lace-up harness at the back is secure and checking the chinstrap is tight enough.
