Health and Safety
AYO is a very active organisation. Rehearsals, concerts, camps, domestic and
international tours take place on a regular basis. Each member is responsible for their own health
and safety, however, AYO will take all reasonable steps to ensure that hazards are identified and
minimised or eliminated. It is the responsibility of players to let us know if there is any medical
condition that we ought to be aware of.
