2. Routine checks and repairs of equipment: This involves regularly inspecting equipment for damage and making necessary repairs to ensure it is safe to use.
3. Updating security measures: This includes installing security cameras, alarms, and other security measures to deter crime and protect users.
4. Training staff on safety protocols: This ensures that staff are aware of safety procedures and can respond appropriately in case of an emergency.
