3. General Safety Guidance

3.1

Your safety is the most important for us therefore Chestertons ask that you ride with care at all times. This means you must not carry any animals or personal items (like a briefcase or a bag) or use any device (like a mobile phone or another portable device) if they impair or hinder with your vision or safe use of the bike (no texting while using the bike, for example). There will not always be a designated place for you to ride, such as a bike lane, so please exercise caution when riding around cars and other traffic (Chestertons is not responsible for the actions of other cyclist or drivers).

3.2 We advise you to at all-times follow TFL's cycling safety tips and it is your responsibility to decide how you ride. - https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/safety/road-safety-

• 3.4 Employees must be confident to ride an e-bike and familiarise themselves with the e-bike before starting a journey.
• 3.5 For a helmet to be effective it has to be the appropriate size, fitted and fastened properly.
