What Is Etiquette?

Etiquette, the complex network of rules that govern good behavior and our social and business interactions, is always
evolving and changing as society changes. It reflects our cultural norms, generally accepted ethical codes, and the rules of
various groups we belong to. It is merely a set of guidelines for politeness and good manners, the kindnesses with which
we should always treat each other. It will always matter!

Proper Etiquette and Safety in the Use of Facilities and Equipment

1. Take care in using facilities and equipment. In consideration of the school's effort and of other students who will benefit
from using the facilities and equipment, it is in good form to handle them with care and use them solely on their purpose.
This is to prevent having them misplaced, stolen or become unnecessary clutters in the training area than can cause
accidents.
2. Only use equipment that you already know how to use do not leave or pass on equipment that is in complete disarray or
dirty.
3. Be Alert and Aware in the training area.
4. In performing exercises and movement in general, practice good form first.
5. Bring back all equipment in place after use.
6. Do not hug the equipment.
7. Return the equipment properly or leave the venue clean. Doing exercises in improper form deficit its benefits. Do not
monopolize the equipment. Allow everyone a fair use of the facilities.
8. Check Yourself - practice proper hygiene and care. Take a bath or a deodorant if needed. Do not force yourself to
engage in physical activity if you are feeling sick.
9. Move on the double; do not loiter around the venue or hang on the equipment doing nothing. Do not handle it until such
time the teacher gives instructions on how to operate the said equipment. You could break the equipment or cause harm to
yourself or others.
10. Be nice, as a general rule!

Why do we need to demonstrate proper etiquette and safety in the use of facilities and equipment?
If facilities are cared for and used well, they will have a longer shelf life. Others will be able to benefit from their use.
Conducting proper etiquette in the use of facilities also ensures the safety of those who use them. The risks in using them
are minimized.
