COVID-19

Interim advice for NRA affiliated Clubs that operate Indoor Ranges 

Background:

The Government guidance for grassroots sports/gym leisure facilities is available here

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19/providers-of-grassroots-sport-and-gym-leisure-facilities

The guidance is very detailed but places the responsibility for sport specific guidance on NGBs.

Key points:

• Indoor sports facilities in England may reopen from 25^th July provided that the operator can do so safely and follow public health guidance
• Local restrictions will apply and devolved Governments will publish guidance for Scotland, NI, Wales
• Volunteers are to be afforded the same level of protection as workers or customers. This will apply to all Club operated indoor ranges and may present issues
• The range operator must develop a site specific Covid-19 risk assessment, following the guidance and do this in conjunction with volunteers that are involved in the operation of the facility
• The guidance provides a lot of detail around handwashing, hygiene, social distancing, surface cleaning that will already be familiar to Club officials/range operators
• Operators will have to restrict access to the facility as a way to manage throughput, avoid breaches of social distancing and optimise the existing ventilation systems in place, whilst not causing harm to range users through lead contamination
• Ventilation of the facility plays an important part in mitigating the spread of Covid-19. Section 5 of the guidance details specific requirements including the importance of fresh air circulation and limiting occupancy to allow 100 sqf per person
• Range operators will need to fully understand the ventilation system for their range and its characteristics in order to comply with guidance provided by the CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) that is included in the Government guidance. https://www.cibse.org/coronavirus-covid-19/emerging-from-lockdown
• CIBSE recommends that areas that lack a direct supply of outside air be prohibited from use- this may apply to parts of many indoor ranges
• CIBSE recommends that operators using “specialised ventilation systems” seek further advice from the “Institute of Local Exhaust Engineers”. https://www.cibse.org/Institute-of-Local-Exhaust-Ventilation-Engineers
• Indoor ranges rely on a laminar air flow pulled down the range with an extraction system rated 10% greater than the inlet producing a negative pressure down range. The air systems are to be switched on 20 minutes before use of the range and left on 30 minutes after use to remove dust and gasses after firing ceases. The consequence of this system is that Covid-19 in aerosol could be carried down the range and deposited onto targets, filters and range structures exposing users to Covid-19 when targets are changed or during the close down procedures when the extractor fan is still running. Operators will need to include in the risk assessment. In addition range operators should consider not handling contaminated filters for a fixed period of time to allow Covid-19 to “expire”, currently 72 hours
• Range operators will need to consider the broader implications of Covid-19 on the existing operational and maintenance procedures (including cleaning) as part of the risk assessment process. For example, allow ventilation systems to run 24/7 and increase airflow and ventilation maintenance frequency
• Indoor ranges may be located in buildings or structures that do not allow the implementation of the Guidelines, for example tunnel ranges or subterranean ranges with no doors/windows to the outside. On ranges where the only doors/windows are located near the firing point end of the range, ventilation may be difficult
• Operators will have to consider mandating the use of PPE to protect volunteers and users, for example use of face masks and shields, gloves, aprons etc during set up, use and close down of the range
• Contractors visiting the range to provide maintenance services will require separate risk assessment and procedures
• Range waste including targets should be treated as if contaminated with Covid-19 which can remain on surfaces for up to 3 days
• Operators will need to decide if retail activity such as ammunition sales, firearm rental, can be delivered safely
• Operators will need to decide if training can be delivered safely

NRA Affiliated Clubs that operate an indoor range in England during Covid-19 restrictions

The Government published new national guidance for England on 24^th February for indoor sports and leisure facilities. Indoor shooting ranges may reopen not earlier than 12^th April 2021 as part of Step 2 of the gradual relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions.  Details are available here

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reopening-businesses-and-venues-in-england/reopening-businesses-and-venues?fbclid=IwAR3DFdK_20a36h–7XVFgrf7eSzgoc7DvBWOm-VE9cmdNxkwqjrDJmJtNBo

Range premises should only be visited alone or with household groups, the Club/range operator should follow the Government social contact rules.  Club officials should be able to demonstrate robust strategies to manage the risk of transmission of Covid-19 and ensure that social distancing rules are followed.  Club officials are encouraged to review and update the Covid-19 risk assessment for the indoor range and supporting range operating procedures.  An example of a generic risk assessment template for an indoor range is attached. Clubs may wish to adapt the template to suit the specifics of the range and shooting activity.

Generic Covid-19 RA for indoor range March 2021

Club officials responsible for indoor ranges may wish to review the CIBSE advice for building owners/managers when reopening buildings following a period of inactivity. The ventilation guidance updated in October 2020 is available here

https://www.cibse.org/coronavirus-covid-19/emerging-from-lockdown#1

Club officials are encouraged to regularly check the Government Covid-19 advice available here

https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus   to ensure compliance.

Clubs that operate an indoor range are encouraged to review the guidance which includes advice on the ventilation of indoor premises and measures to reduce the risk of transmission in poorly ventilated spaces.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has produced updated guidance on ventilation and air conditioning during the Covid-19 pandemic.  The guidance includes advice on how to identify a poorly ventilated area and measures that may be used to improve ventilation. This information may helpful to Clubs that operate premises that include an indoor range and associated facilities.

Details are available here

https://www.hse.gov.uk/coronavirus/equipment-and-machinery/air-conditioning-and-ventilation/index.htm

Clubs are encouraged to seek specialist advice from the contractor(s) responsible for the maintenance of indoor range ventilation systems.    The CIBSE ventilation guidance for building operators is available here

https://www.cibse.org/coronavirus-covid-19/emerging-from-lockdown

Update – Changes to Note

Ammunition is only available for purchase from the Range Office and no longer from the firing point. We have reduced the on-range admin to enable the RO’s to focus on the members and their shooting

Please be aware that lack of bookings on ranges will result in the cancellation of firing points – we will inform you of any changes within a week of the date of the Shooting Club taking place.

Melville Range continues to be poorly utilised by our Shooting Club members and we may look at removing this as an option altogether – members who wish to use Melville can do so on a ‘casual’ basis by booking in the Range Office and shooting on Bay A which is always available for casual shooters.

Logging your Shooting History

Do remember that you can log your shooting at Bisley online, either in the Range Office or at home, which will help you to maintain your records for FAC renewals.  Please ensure you record on the day of shooting as it cannot be entered retrospectively.

Please contact the Membership Team if you need any help setting up your online login.
