Health & Safety

Experience

Campaign Paintball & Laser Park was founded in 1987 and has built an excellent reputation for a quality entertainment and regard for the health and safety of participants. Campaign is a member of the United Kingdom Paintball Sports Federation, the sports Governing body of which we have a 5-star rating. Directors Jim Sennett and Lawrence Barwick have worked within the paintball & Laser tag industry for over 30 years.

Location and Amenities

Campaign is situated in Old Lane, Cobham. It has large woodland playing areas free from potential hazards and clear of public rights of way. This enclosed area is centrally situated in the safe zone, surrounded by 3-metre high paintball-proof netting, and paint markers are always kept outside this area, so participants can safely walk around without wearing their safety equipment. Laser Tag games take place utterly separate from paintball areas. Situated within the safe zone are the central administration office, Stores, First Aid, Toilets, changing and kitchen, where food is prepared in compliance with Environmental Health guidelines.

Staff

All games occur within daylight hours and are marshalled by fully trained staff on a ratio of approximately one marshal to fifteen players. The marshals are visible in site uniform and in contact with each other via handheld radios. At each event, at least one marshal or manager with Red Cross/St. Johns Ambulance First Aid Training.

Briefing

Before the commencement of the games, a comprehensive introduction and safety briefing is given to all participants. This includes instruction on the safe use of all equipment with an essential emphasis on eye and ear protection (goggle cleaning & adjustment procedures etc.), the game’s rules, a description site’s geography and an introduction to the site staff.

Paintball Equipment

The highest standard of equipment is provided to participants. All paintball players are given goggles with integral face, head & ear protection. All equipment is checked and serviced weekly.

Our camouflaged combat suits come in all sizes and protect you and your clothes from the riggers of the game. Furthermore, they also come with a padded collar to protect the neck from stray paintball shots.

All paintball markers are chronographed regularly and set at approximately 270 feet per second. The kinetic energy of the paintballs will not exceed 12 ft pounds. The contents of the paintballs are non-toxic, biodegradable and non-irritant.

Laser Tag Equipment

Goggles are not required whilst playing Campaign Laser Tag, as no projectile is fired. So contrary to the name, Laser taggers don’t fire a laser but an infrared beam ( like a TV remote). This is completely safe and harmless to the eye.
