personnel, MOD and BAE employees.<br />

Administration<br />
7. Payment. Payment is to be made to the LAF, HMS NELSON and should accompany a<br />
completed application form which can be found at Annex A. Passes required for less than 12 month<br />
periods will be charged at a concessionary rate dependant on the date of application. These charges<br />
are in line with other <strong>Naval</strong> Establishments and represent good value for money when compared with<br />
the membership costs of private and commercial gymnasiums.<br />
8. Security. A LAF Pass does not entitle the holders to sign guests into the facilities. If a pass<br />
is lost, HMNB Security Office (02392 723419) is to be informed immediately and a new application<br />
form completed thereafter.<br />
9. Insurance. HMS NELSON LAF has its own Public Liability Insurance and basic personal<br />
accident cover; the premiums for which are partly paid from the money received from LAF Passes.<br />
It is therefore mandatory for all civilian personnel to have a valid LAF Pass in order to have public<br />
liability insurance cover. Personal accident insurance is highly recommended.<br />
10. Applications. Eligible personnel wishing to apply for a HMS NELSON/HMNB <strong>Portsmouth</strong><br />
2
‘LAF Pass’ are to complete the application form, medical questionnaire and induction form at Annexes<br />
A, B and C, returning the same to the LAF Office, Ground Floor Neptune Building, together with full<br />
payment and 2 passport sized photographs.<br />
11. Control of Users. It is emphasised that Service Personnel will have priority for the use of<br />
facilities. During periods of high demand, lower priority users may be turned away.<br />
12. Induction Courses. It is a health and safety requirement and therefore compulsory that all<br />
successful applicants attend an induction brief prior to the issue of a new pass. Induction briefs<br />
take place as follows:<br />
a. Mon at 1715 in NELSON Gym.<br />
b. Tue and Thu at 0815 in NELSON Gym.<br />
c. Mon and Wed at 0900 in the Water Front gym.<br />
<strong>13</strong>. LAF passes may be suspended or revoked due to misuse of facilities or equipment, failing to<br />
adhere to Gym rules or intolerable behavior toward other Gym users or Staff. Gym users are subject<br />
to spot checks and are required to carry their LAF passes at all times. Failure to produce a valid in<br />
date pass will result in that individual being asked to leave the facility and Line Managers being<br />
informed.<br />
14. Should there be any additional queries regarding LAF Passes, please direct them to the LAF<br />
