The following rules apply to all people present on site at all times whether they are managers, employees, volunteers, contractors, guests, visitors or participants. Everyone has legal responsibilities for the health and safety of themselves and others. No one is exempt from these responsibilities. Failure to comply can lead to legal action by the local authority and/or disciplinary action by the Jama'at.
